Colligo Marine Introduces New Synthetic Shrouds

colligo-dux-synthetic-shrouds

Colligo Marine is introducing made-to-order synthetic shrouds using lashing or turnbuckle tensioning systems that are about the same cost as stainless steel but 1/6th the weight – and 1/3 the cost of comparable PBO and carbon systems.

Colligo® Dux Shrouds are made from Dynex Dux, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, with Colligo Marine hardware. Dynex Dux is UV-resistant for as long as five years.

Properly sized for creep and stretch, the new shrouds can accommodate T fittings, carbon or stainless chainplates.

Available for boats from 10 to 70 feet LOA.
