Ropeye Blocks

In the four years since its founding, Ropeye has developed a reputation for using advanced technology to reimagine how sailboats can be rigged. The result is a collection of ‘gadgets’ that blur the distinction between traditional rigging elements—often eliminating unnecessary parts and always minimizing weight.

Ropeye made its first splash with a superbly-designed soft-attach termination for blocks, padeyes, fairleads, or rings. Unbelievably, those first waterproof, single-point composite attachments are three times stronger and five times lighter than the conventional stainless steel alternatives. Ropeye products are right for anyone who is concern about carrying extra weight.

The way we sail and the way we rig our boats is changing. Light weight and simple products are showing up on the market. What was once limited to the high end grand prix sailboats is now available to all of us. Thanks to an agreement between Ropeye (production and design) and Harken (distribution) now you can rig almost your hold boat with using nuts and bolts. Removable through decks, low friction rings, dyneema , loops are now common terminology when drafting a new deck layout.

Tech Tip 1: Ropeye PRO Loop is ideal to replace your padeye and block spinnaker guide set up.

Tech Tip 2: Use Ropeye SLR low friction rings to create a cascade system for your boom vang or backstay
