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 good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
