1. Deck hardware for a sailboat Racing sailboats, cruising sailboats, dinghies, windsurfers and even kite
boards. All crafts that are wind powered over the water require very specific type of products to operate
the sails, foils and spars and get underway. These components need to be of high strength and capable
of working under high loads for long periods of time and holding their integrity after weather conditions
degrade them as well
Rope clutches, winches, deck blocks, deck organizes, fairleads, mastbase blocks, capstan, autopilot,
basically a very sort of hardware that is exposed to water, sun, salt and impact is part of the deck
hardware. Development by sailboat parts manufacturers is constant and uses leading edge technology.
Harken Yacht Equipment has pioneered the ball bearing block and pulleys industry assuming the
commitment of making the most advanced blocks at the lightest weight. Product of this efforts and
research, Harken has now well know lines such as the Carbo Blocks, Ratchet blocks, ESP cruising blocks,
high load Torlon roller blocks. The same can be said about their winches on both, standard and self
tailing in aluminum alloy, bronze, chrome and stainless steel. Another prestigious manufacturer on this
field is Lewmar, which is well known for their sailboat winches, Synchro blocks, racing and HTX blocks.
Antal, a legendary Italian block manufacturer who has found a very good balance between performance
and strength at very low friction. Antal rope clutches are installed on many sailboat from Europe to
America. Ronstan brought technology from the skiffs and ultra light sailboats that aim to high speeds,
therefore need to be reliable yet light and low friction. Wichard, another European manufacturer of
rigging components and blocks is well known for their very strong components and performance
oriented construction methods. The list of sailboat deck hardware manufacturers goes on and on. One
of the most important habits to keep a healthy deck on your sailboat is to rinse it periodically with fresh
water, even if the sailboat is based in a fresh water environment. Dirt accumulates very quickly between
ball bearing races, rollers and other movable components, therefore they must be rinsed after each
sailing session. Halyard sheaves and mast base blocks are very prone to getting stuck and create
unbearable friction and grease lubricants will worsen the situation as they become a dirt sponge after a
couple of days from application. Dry Teflon PTFE based lubricants are a much better solution as they
don’t accumulate dust neither salt, and most important don’t leave residue on the deck or over the
ropes.
