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.
Nice-looking bung, all in one piece. No more looking for the bung when you have let it drain from the last time, and bought this to create a second drain socket in my Solo.
They have good paddings
It fits exactly fine to laser pico. Straps are very usefull. Hole at the back helps you store your upper mast easily under the cover. Looks very durable. Delivery was very fast. Thanks
Product as described and very prompt delivery
Usual harken good stuff
Easy to find, quick dispatch, on the boat now.
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
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.
