RunnerSprint
Currently undergoing rigorous testing aboard Herrmann’s new yacht: RunnerSprint, the ultimate racing rope.

To this day, Gleistein continues to offer the legendary MegaTwin Dyneema: a rope capable of winning races even in 2025 and the cornerstone of Gleistein’s high-performance sailing line. Now, with RunnerSprint, a new favourite takes the lead.
