Knotless netting from net systems.

By Dieter Loibner , Sep 28, 2023

In NET Systems’ 100-mesh looms, 804 radially arranged bobbins weave an UltraCross net. Half rotate clockwise, while the other half rotate counterclockwise.

It’s a safe guess that nets have been around for at least 10,000 years. These simple, practical tools have found countless uses and become essential to many human endeavors, including fishing, ball and speed sports, cargo transport, the military, and multihull sailing.

I paid a visit to NET Systems Inc. (NET is the acronym for Nor’Eastern Trawl), which occupies a cluster of nondescript industrial buildings in a forest clearing along Highway 305 on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The company was founded in 1978 by Gary Loverich and Tom Croker, who both hail from Bainbridge but worked at Seattle Marine and thought that selling integrated trawl fishing systems might be a promising niche. To research improvements before the age of waterproof GoPro cameras, they donned mask, fins, wetsuits, and scuba gear to take a close-up look at the fishing gear in action.

They didn’t just tinker with trawl design but also introduced UltraCross (UC) knotless netting, made by Nichimo Co., Ltd of Japan, to the Alaskan fishing market. This is a unique four-strand, braided, knotless construction, which produces significantly less drag (due to the elimination of extra material required in knotted nets), thus reducing the towing power required or increasing the size of the net, which translates into catching more fish. Instead of using traditional knotted nylon or polyethylene line, UC netting can be made with lighter and stronger Dyneema fibers spun into twine, which is automatically woven into a net by intersecting with other strands on a specialized loom.

Xzalivar White, a 33-year company veteran at NET Systems

NET Systems and Nichimo formed Superior Netting Products to market the product and manufacture UC netting on Bainbridge, primarily for commercial fishing in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. “The first loom came over [from Japan] in 1992,” said Xzalivar White, a 33-year company veteran who is the purchasing manager and helps with operations. “We started with one and now have nine of these looms.” Seven are 100-mesh-wide-producing looms that work with twines with 1.2mm–5.4mm (0.005 “ –0.213 “ ) diameters, while the largest machine (code named Big Dog “because it’s always hungry,” according to White) is the only such loom in North America, manufacturing 6mm–13mm (0.236 “ –0.51 “ ) twine.

The newest loom produces 200-mesh-wide sheets with a typical mesh size of 85mm (3.35 “ ) BK (between the knots).

Triumphs of mechanical engineering, these looms require trained operators to maintain and lubricate them for uninterrupted operation. Seen from above, they resemble the air intake of a jet engine, with half of the 804 radially arranged bobbins on the 100-mesh looms rotating clockwise along their longitudinal axis, the other half counterclockwise, spitting out the finished net in the center of the loom. The mesmerizing, precisely choreographed process is managed by a mechanical controller and overlaid by a loud metallic soundtrack.

A bobbin can hold 1,200m (0.75 mile) of Dyneema fiber

Discussing the process, White also offered staggering numbers: Each bobbin is loaded with up to 1,200m (0.75 mile) of raw Dyneema fiber before it is inserted into its casing, meaning that one loom with 804 bobbins uses 964.8 km (600 miles) of fiber to make netting, roughly equal to the driving distance from Salem, Oregon, to San Francisco, California. Once a net is out of the loom, it goes through pre-inspection (check and repair), and coating (basically getting dipped in a polyurethane solution) before being spread in a mechanical stretcher chamber to “set the memory” (polyethylene nets are treated in a steam chamber). It must pass final quality assurance and documentation prior to packaging and shipping.

As an example for multihull applications, NET Systems lists UC knotless netting sheets made with Dyneema fibers with a silver-colored coating (which eventually turns golden from UV exposure) or pure-pigmented black Dyneema. The netting has 42mm (1.66 “ ) BK mesh size and is made with 20-ply 3mm-diameter (0.12 “ ) twine with a breaking strength of approximately 862 lbs (392 kg). A typical sheet measures 100 x 130 meshes, covers an area of about 10 ‘  x 13 ‘  (3m x 4m) and weighs about 14 lbs (6.35 kg). The netting is diamond shaped (hung on the bias), borderless, and has a raw-cut edge.

Depending on the choice of Dyneema, the cost of this sheet presently ranges from $850 to nearly $1,100, but discerning customers pony up. The mainstay of NET Systems’ business remains the commercial fishing industry, which purchases trawls, but the company also supplies UC for barrier netting through its distributor, Sportsfield Specialties, to Major League Baseball franchises to use behind home plate. In addition, barrier netting was approved for use by some NHL clubs to keep errant pucks from hitting spectators in the stands. This netting has to be strong and light, and uses very thin Dyneema yarn “because it has to be 95% invisible, so it won’t disturb the view,” White said.

UltraCross netting with black Dyneema fiber is used for baseball backstops and along first- and third-base foul lines.

Right around the time when the founders sold the firm to Nichimo in the mid-1990s, NET Systems started supplying nets for the 60 ‘  (18.3m) offshore racing trimaran (ORMA 60) used as a prop in the movie  Waterworld . Later it worked with Marathon Racing, the team of the late solo sailor and adventurer Steve Fossett, and racing outfits like the French Groupama team and the Swiss Alinghi syndicate, but also with production and custom builders like Gunboat, HH Catamarans, and Chris White.

Among its high-profile yacht-racing clientele is Oracle Racing, which fitted its  America ’s Cup–winning multihulls with a customized version of UltraCross with 50mm (2 “ ) square openings x 16 ply, or 2.7mm (0.1 “ ) diameter. “Oracle Racing was new to the multihull world during the  America ’s Cup in 2010 at Valencia, Spain, and sought to find the most advanced netting product to outfit the trimaran that would go on to win the Cup,” said Chris Sitzenstock, who worked for the team as a boatbuilder and logistics manager. For safety, light weight, and the lack of wear, he said that UltraCross netting “ticked all the boxes.” At the next Cup in 2013 in San Francisco, NET Systems’ products became an integral part of the AC72 and AC45 class rule, Sitzenstock added.

This textbook installation of a multihull trampoline is done with UltraCross Dyneema netting.

Back at the factory, White told me the story of a hair-raising skydiving stunt that made the  Guiness Book of World Records  in 2016, when Luke Aikins plunged 25,000 ‘  (7,600m) from a plane toward Earth without wearing a wingsuit or a parachute, landing in a 10,000-sq-ft (929m 2 ) net made by NET Systems.  Watching Aikins  plummet from the sky at terminal velocity and twist onto his back the instant before hitting the net is still a goose bumps moment seven years later. He did not bounce at all, because the net was suspended and slacked off at impact to safely catch and envelop him.

NET Systems’ steel trawl doors deflect water flow and open nets laterally.

Despite all the modern machinery that produces UltraCross netting, NET Systems also provides traditional knotted nets, which are machine-made and imported, e.g., from India. The company occasionally runs a conventional loom loaded with traditional nylon or a more abrasion-resistant polyethylene line. Knotted netting is still used in the scallop fishery and to build normed (standardized) research trawls for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Assembly requires skilled manual labor to splice the netting to stout Dyneema rib lines that form the framework of a trawl net. Mike Bucsit, 57, who joined the company in the late 1980s, is among the longest-serving NET Systems employees and was busy finishing a chafer pouch for the cod-end of a trawl with 6mm (0.24 “ ) polyethylene line. “In this work, you need to know how to sew, lace, and tie knots, something that I learned on the job,” he said.

Polyethylene line is used for a knotted trawl net, processed on a traditional loom.

Trawl nets use different-size mesh and can incorporate excluders or flaps in the back-end design to help release unwanted bycatch, White explained before showing me the metal shop, where the “doors” are being made. These are in essence heavy steel foils of different shapes and sizes deployed via cable for redirecting water flow at the front end of the trawl to help open the net horizontally. “You have to find a sweet spot, so they don’t stall, which is why sensors are used to measure the door angle,” White explained. Finally, up on the sewing floor, he demonstrated the steps of squaring netting panels by stitching them together by hand, turning them 45° before cutting to make them square.

Ultracross & dyneema.

ULTRA CROSS ® Netting is a highly advanced 4 strand, braided, continuous monofilament, knotless netting used for heavy duty commercial fishing applications. With our patented manufacturing process, Ultra Cross Netting delivers superior strength and performance over conventional netting maximizing the use of Dyneema®, Spectra®, High Tenacity Polyethylene, and Nylon or Polyester fiber attributes.

Crimond Enterprises Ltd Canadian distributor for ULTRA CROSS ® Netting

LOW FRICTION, HIGH ABRASION RESISTANCE Without knots, Ultra Cross Netting does not have high spots to abrade on stern ramps, ship rails, net rollers, or even rough bottom. In the case of purse seines, the netting shoots very smoothly as there is no inter-knot friction.

LESS BULK and WEIGHT Less twine is used to make the meshes, which in some cases can mean a savings of 50% of the raw material. Without knots, the bulk of the netting is also reduced. A single layer of Ultra Cross can replace two or three layers of double knotted netting, reducing bulk, weight, and improve the "fishability" of a net.

Crimond Enterprises Ltd ULTRA CROSS ® Netting

STABLE MESH SIZE Knots can tighten or distort throughout the life of netting, dramatically changing mesh size. Hollow braided twines can hold sediment which not only wears on the twine from the inside, but also changes mesh size. Ultra Cross Netting maintains nearly 100% of it's original mesh size throughout the life of the product, does not hold sediment because of the 4 strand braiding process, and has no knots to distort.

PERFECT for SQUARE MESH APPLICATIONS Ultra Cross Netting has proven to be the best material for square mesh and selectivity applications. The Danish Fisheries Institute, the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen, the National Research Institute of Fisheries in Japan, and many other fishery agencies around the world have endorsed Ultra Cross Knotless Netting as the ideal square mesh material. Ultra Cross is also used where size selectivity is important for onboard mechanized fish handling systems, where a specific size fish is targeted to maximize machine efficiency.

ENDS of STRANDS DO NOT FRAY The unique four strand construction of Ultra Cross Netting produces a very stable twine. This twine resists fraying and broken bars do not unravel.

REDUCE DAMAGE to FISH Ultra Cross Netting is very kind to fish with less bruising and abrasion from knots. This fact has been proven in many of the worlds' fisheries where product quality cannot be compromised.

LESS DISTORTION and TEARING Distortion and tearing are major concerns in webbing. The four-strand braid construction of Ultra Cross results in a positive lock at strand intersections, virtually eliminating netting distortion and slippage of the intersections. Such a positive lock cannot be obtained with Twisted Cross Netting which utilizes a two-strand twist construction. Because of it's inherent stability and resistance to slipage, Ultra Cross is ideal for mesh size regulated fisheries, and is easy to repair even if a mesh breaks.

REDUCED TOWING and SINKING RESISTANCE Although utilizing a different number of strands, the total number of fibers used to make the strands for Ultra Cross and Twisted Cross are the same. If each strand of Twisted Cross consisted of 500 fibers, then each strand of Ultra Cross would group 250 fibers. The total number of fibers used to make one two-stranded twist and one four-stranded braid would be 1,000 each.

KNOTLESS netting has been around for many years but has never been as popular in many parts of the world as conventional knot­ted netting. Although knot-less is used extensively in Japan and elsewhere in the Far East, in many other areas knotless netting is frequently regarded with something approaching suspicion.

In spite of all its advan­tages, in the West knotless netting remains relatively little used except for special applications.However, the benefits of knotless as far as reducing drag is concerned are very clear and the differences in price can be misleading, giv­ing an enduring perception that knotless is considerably more expensive than conven­tional netting. There are also myths that knotless is weaker and more difficult to repair.

Conventional knotted net­ting has one significant prob­lem in that the knots present a weak point. Tie a knot in a piece of twine and the breaking strength is reduced by as much as a half - and this is just as applicable to twines that have been braided into netting because the strain on the fibres as they are twisted in a knot weakens them.

Knots are also where abra­sion occurs and where any problems with mesh slippage is going to happen.

With all this in mind, knot­ted netting has great advan­tages as well, as it is easier and quicker to produce. It has been dominant in the market ever since fishing nets were braided by hand, so the majority of fishermen and netmakers are much more familiar with it, finding it almost second nature to work with.

Price and weight MANUFACTURING knot-less netting poses its own problems in that, instead of making netting from braided or twisted twines, the twines are also braided as the net­ting is made.

This makes the production process more complex than for knotted netting and is why knotless requires sophis­ticated production machin­ery. So, all this tends to be reflected in the price of the finished netting, although there are other factors that need to be considered when comparing the two.

Knots in conventional net­ting - especially in heavier twines - account for a very significant portion of overall weight. As netting is general­ly sold by weight, it follows that a section of netting in knotted twine is going to be heavier than a section of netting in knotless of the same size and with the same or similar mesh and twine sizes.

Knotless netting covers more area for a given weight of netting than conventional netting and the difference can be significant. Bulk can be 50% or more with heavey small, a factor that becomes steadily less as meshes become larger and twine size becomes finer. This goes even further than simply replacing knot­ted with knotless, as the weak point of conventional netting is in the knot itself.

"There is a perception that knotless netting is less strong than knotted netting," says Ulrik Jes Hansen, senior research scientist of the research organisation SlIsITEE He says that, in knotless netting, the filaments in the twines are able to run in straight lines without being turned back on themselves in a knot, "So, in most cases, knotless netting is a lot stronger than knotted netting."

This means that, as well as reducing the bulk of the net­ting in the knots, smaller twine sizes can also be select­ed, leading to lower drag and -hopefully-reduced fuel bills.

Knotless netting also tends to be better on abrasion. Again, the knots are the weak point in normal netting. As a sheet of netting is repeatedly hauled across the deck or against a rusty ship's side, it is the knots that weaken first - and this is where meshes are likely to part first."The breaking strength of [knotted] netting in a slightly used Codend can be quite low, even though it may have started life as high strength netting, as the knots can be worn enough to weaken the netting, “says Ulrik Jes Hansen.

Four-ply construction of UltraCross net­ting gives it exceptional stability.

REPLACING knotted with knotless netting does more than simply remove the drag caused by the knots - it also removes the weakest point. So, this allows the use of finer twines as the breaking strength of the twine itself is no longer reduced by being knotted.

US east coast Net lofts are supplying UltraCross knotless netting practically as standard in codends, UltraCross netting in Dyneema is now being used increasingly in the bellies of the company's squid and whiting trawls. They have been using 4-ply UltraCross in 1.20 mm to replace netting in 3 or 3.50 mm knotted twines in trawls. The idea was to go for bigger gear before the fuel went so high but, now, we have been seeing some big fuel savings of as much as 15% in some cases. For the boats that are working on the margins, this really helps.

The manufacturer of UltraCross netting, tells FNI that the company is investing in a newloom to increase and modernize UltraCross pro­duction capacity. We are seeing a lot of UltraCross being sold for square mesh codends and that is really where it shines. It is stable and it lasts. Our 8.80 mm netting is being used to replace double 5 or 6 mm, giving better waterflow through the gear, with very few stickers," he comments. "Here the boats are using 169 mm inside mesh to meet the 6.50 in. mesh size requirement - and, on yel­lowtail flounder, what we have seen is that the fish are either in or they aren't. "We have found that UltraCross performs in a similar way on other fisheries and we have very few issues anywhere with sticking fish."

Knotless netting in pelagic codends has been a resound­ing success, according to customers in Iceland they have been using UC netting in nylon for several trawlers fishing herring, capelin and blue whiting, as well as knotless PE for redfish pelagic trawl codends.

The results have been fantastic. It's unbeliev­able how this netting lasts. HB-Grandi's trawler Venus used the same codend on redfish for seven seasons and only had to replace it when they lost their gear and then they ordered an identical codend as a replace­ment.

US trawlers fishing for Alaska pollock use this as well with 22 mm chains for rib lines. At the end of each season, they change the chains but keep the netting The pelagic trawlers Thorsteinn and Sighvatur Bjarnason have both been using UltraCross nylon netting in their codends and have reported good results. "The codend sensors light up quicker now and it's quite clear that the trawl is fishing better with this codend.

Ultra Cross 43 mm inside mesh has been supplied to Royal Greenland's shrimp trawlers and it has lasted exceptionally well. There is a price difference but, with fuel at the price it is, they see an improvement. The netting also lasts so much longer than anything else that, although its initial cost is rel­atively high, the long term cost is less than that of con­ventional netting."

Ultra Cross nylon and PE knotless netting, as well as the Dyneema UC Silver netting supplied to Royal Greenland has also performed extremely well. They have seen that shrimp trawlers using UC Silver in the belly have been replacing the conventional netting in the front sections of their trawls  every year, but keeping the knotless belly netting for a second or even a third year.

A growing number of Captains are now using Ultra Cross including Gilles d’ Entremont Captain of the Nova Scotia trawler "Lery Charles" has been using Ultra Cross exclusively on his trawls since the vessel was launched mainly because of its consistent mesh size, mesh stability and also providing superior fish quality.

Dyneema  Technical Details:

Strong Dyneema fibers can be used to make low-diameter twines with reduced resistance in the water and lower drag to save energy and lower fuel consumption. Other benefits include towing a larger net or increasing Swept Volume and/or Swept Area using the same net size, or a reduction in door size.

Apart from steel, there is no product used in trawl gear that can compete in strength with Dyneema, for instance the diameter of this twine at the same strength is always 50% lower, this factor has a major impact on the efficiency of the net. Wet knot strength is crucial Dyneema hardly loses its tenacity when wet, in contrast with the knots in Polyethylene, which lose about 20% of their dry knot strength.

The weight reduction is also substantial, Dyneema based netting weighs no more than about one third of a Polyamide or regular Polyethylene netting. The use of Dyneema netting twines in the whole net or in sections of the net will substantially reduce the resistance and the drag, and thus save energy. Preliminary studies indicate a Twine Surface Area reduction of approximately 40% using Dyneema in the wings, square, and bellies of a trawl.

Initial problems with knot slippage have been addressed by the use of double knots, recently one manufacturer has introduced a special knot, which when tested, gave even better knot security.

The following figures are claimed by manufacturers:

Using Dyneema Twines.

·        diameter of twines                      - 50%

·        drag of the trawl                           - 30%

·        trawl opening                               + 40%

·        fishing efficiency                          + 80%

Open Nets offer minimum resistance to wind and water, making them more seaworthy in heavy weather. The larger the net relative to the size of the boat, the more importaint this becomes. The trade off of course is that the more open the nets become the less comfortable they are, especially on bare skin.

Open Nets can be found in 4 construction types; Knotted, Knitted, Twisted or Braided. With Knotted and Knitted nets there is a loss of strength at the intersection, but not with Twisted or Braided nets. Because the fibers run straighter in the Twisted and Braided types these nets will also have less elasticity or stretch than the Knotted or Knitted nets. Knitted, Twisted, and Braided are without knots and would be more comfortable than the knotted type.

Open Nets are finished similar to Mesh Nets with sewn reinforced borders. Open Nets with larger holes, the Ultra Pro 1-1/2" and Dyneema 1" can also be made with Rope Borders. These nets work well in areas that need more openness like trimaran bow nets and offshore Catamarans with larger net areas, or any area where a more open net is desired.
