Lightweight and Strong Textile Solutions

Looking for a way to shed weight and improve the performance of your boat? Ropeye makes lightweight, strong textile loops and fittings that replace traditional metal deck hardware. With the stick-on range you can fit new sheet leads, handholds and block attachments without drilling holes, so your set-up can change with your sail and rig plan, or follow your own design. Textile loops are now widely used for hardware attachment on racing yachts, and they are growing in popularity on cruising yachts, for example to attach guard wire netting where there is no metal toe rail.

Why choose Ropeye?

• Weight saving: textile loops and fittings are far lighter than conventional metal hardware.
• Strength: made with Dyneema, they are very strong for their weight. Check the rated load on each product page.
• Easy installation: the stick-on range needs only adhesive, with no drilling.
• Durability: the materials are highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.
• Clean deck layout: fewer metal parts on deck means a smoother, more organised look and fewer stubbed toes!
