Thinking of changing over to Dyneema Standing Rigging from usual Stainless. Do insurance companies accept this material or do they load the premium? Thanks

With all things insurance write to them and ask, get a reply in writing. Anything can be insured; at a cost.

As a general rule if it's something standard and fitted by a professional then they would accept it, but as Sandy says ask them the question specifically.
If you fit your own dyneema rigging to save money then the answer would likely be different, and they may not ask who fitted it until the mast is in the water and you're making a claim, so be specific in your question.

Weĺl, those answers make sence, thank you. Swedish boat show early next year.where most venders have a presense. I will be aware of the danger of making deals not in writing.

According to this, Dyneema can lose 40% of it's strength in 4-5 years from UV damage. https://dyneematents.com/dyneema-uv-resistance/
