Marine rigging hardware includes essential components like shackles, turnbuckles, and wire ropes used to secure and adjust sails and rigging on boats. These durable, corrosion-resistant parts ensure safe and efficient operation in harsh marine environments. Proper selection and maintenance of marine rigging are critical for vessel performance and safety.

Size: 1/4" to 2" diameter (common sizes)

Grade: 316 stainless steel (marine-grade), Grade 43 or Grade 70 for chain

Viscosity: N/A (not applicable for rigging hardware)

Buoyancy: Negative (sinks in water due to metal density)

Material: 316 stainless steel, galvanized steel, or high-strength synthetic fibers (e.g., Dyneema, polyester)

Working Load Limit (WLL): Varies by size (e.g., 1/2" wire rope ~8,000 lbs)

Breaking Strength: 4-6x WLL (e.g., 1/2" chain ~12,000-20,000 lbs)

Corrosion Resistance: High (316 stainless steel), moderate (galvanized steel)

Temperature Range: -40°F to 400°F (varies by material)

UV Resistance: High (synthetics with UV inhibitors)

Flexibility: Moderate (wire rope), high (synthetic ropes)

Marine Rigging Hardware and Marine Rigging products typically comply with international maritime standards such as ISO 9001, ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), DNV (Det Norske Veritas), and Lloyd's Register. For specific compliance details, refer to the product documentation or manufacturer specifications.
