Designed for strength and efficiency, these lightweight eyes are perfect for a wide range of maritime applications, ensuring reliability and performance on every voyage.

Superior Construction and Design

Our High Load Eyes are available in six versatile sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your specific needs. Manufactured using top-quality marine-grade aluminum, each eye is treated with HV500 hard anodizing to enhance durability and resistance to the harsh marine environment. The ergonomic design features curved surfaces that minimize friction, ensuring smooth operation and long-lasting performance.

Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Engineered to provide maximum strength while minimizing weight, our High Load Eyes boast an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. This makes them ideal for critical applications such as kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and any other areas where weight savings and robust strength are essential.

Versatile Applications

Whether you're outfitting lazy jacks, barber haulers, ast base tidies, or stanchion lead eyes, our High Load Eyes deliver the performance you need. The smallest size accommodates a 3mm line with a bullseye diameter of 6mm, while the largest size is built to handle a 16mm line with a bullseye diameter of 28mm, providing flexibility for various rigging configurations.

Wear Resistance

The HV500 hard anodized coating not only provides a striking finish but also offers exceptional wear resistance. In rigorous testing, including over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, these eyes showed no visual signs of wear on the anodized surface, ensuring longevity and sustained performance in demanding marine environments.
