Abstract
This article presents the basic parameters of soft ropes: natural fibre ropes, soft wire ropes and synthetic fibre ropes used for running rigging. There are only several materials still used for the production of natural fibre ropes, including cotton, jute, hemp, sisal and manila hemp. The most commonly used soft wire ropes are twisted pair ropes; for smaller diameters there is a 6x19M - FC rope and for larger diameters – 6x37M – FC. There are several types of materials of varied properties and used in different combinations that are utilised for the production of synthetic fibre ropes. Therefore, the parameters of ropes used for the running rigging of staysails, i.e. halyards, downhauls, sheets and tack lines are discussed. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) called dyneema and spectra, or polyester (PES) called diolen, dacron and trevira are most often used for this type of rigging. The problems with modelling the strength properties of synthetic fibre ropes are related with their complex geometry and structure. Multilayered models and the Continuum model are the basic models determining the strength properties of synthetic fibre ropes.
