In this video, the team at Sailing Chandlery review the Allen High Load Thimbles.
Allen has expanded their range of high load alloy thimbles. The range is available in a series of eye catching colours, various sizes, which you can splice onto your ropes.
This friction ring has an outside diameter of 15mm and an internal diameter of 6mm.
This friction ring has an outside diameter of 20mm and an internal diameter of 8mm.
This friction ring has an outside diameter of 25mm and an internal diameter of 10mm.
This friction ring has an outside diameter of 30mm and an internal diameter of 12mm.
This friction ring has an outside diameter of 35mm and an internal diameter of 14mm.
The use of high load, low friction thimbles where blocks may have been used in the past, has simplified areas of rig tensioning such as kicker or down-haul systems.
By splicing the thimble into a dyneema loop it allows far higher loads and enhanced performance.
These high load friction rings feature CNC turned 6082 aluminium, anodised, PTFE coated rings with safe working loads of between 300-1000kg.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
Thank you Sailing Chandlery for delivering my new sailing watch.
An excellent product and decent value.
Service was great, delivery was quick and item was good quality.
These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
