Standing Rigging

Mastbands & Cranse Irons Off the shelf mastbands. The bronze ones are OK up to about 1 ton (4mm 1x19 stainless wire)and the galvanised about 1.5 tons. Warning - any craft over about 20 ft, these are unlikely to be strong enough as cranse irons.

Rigging Screws or bottle screws, straining screws or turnbuckles. For an overview of standing rigging, perhaps this note may help.

Shackles Bronze, galvanised and stainless - D, Long D, Bow (or Harp) and twist.

Snap Shackles & Clips Three types of traditional brass snap shackles

Backstay Equipment Here we list forestay and runner levers and the associated blocks. To see how these might be combined in a backstay, this note may help.

Hull Plates Or chainplates, shroud plates, bowsprit plates; call them what you will. As well as the standard items listed here, we can make these to customer's specifications in steel or bronze.

Wire Rope For an overview of standing rigging and wire breaking loads, this note may help.

Wire Splices and Terminals Listed here the Sta-lok, Blue Wave and Talurit ends

Thimbles Apart from the bronze rigging thimbles, these are at the less exciting end of things too.
