Safe harbour or a sheltered anchorage - in order to really sleep well, a ship's equipment has to be reliable in extreme weather and sea conditions. A good anchor gear, anchor capstan, bollards, cleats, elastic mooring lines and fenders must absolutely withstand and should always be suitable for the size and type of ship or yacht. Appropriate pad eyes and fairleads should help to prevent any possible chafing of the hawsers. In our equipment recommendation based on the regulations of Germanischer Lloyd's GL you can read about the optimal strength and length of anchor chain, chain leader, towing and mooring lines for your ship. You can also find out the appropriate anchor weight. The recommended weight for bow and stern anchors depends on their construction. At Toplicht you will find the classic weight anchors, such as the tried and tested stock anchor, but also modern anchor constructions in the category of "high holding power" (HHP) anchors, which include bow and ploughshare anchors. We offer mechanical and electrical windlasses for retrieving the galvanised or stainless steel chains of different link widths. Of course, you will also find anchor lines of high strength.

An versatile rope made from the SPUNFLEX brand fibre. Proven for use on traditional vessels and gaff-rigged boats. Developed by the former Danish rope manufacturer ROBLON, this rot-resistant, textured PP film fibre rope is treated with a high-quality UV stabiliser. Unlike other hemp-coloured synthetic fibres, the fibre is exceptionally UV-resistant.Tied in a 3-strand tight lay, the rope is easy to splice and resembles Manila hemp rope in appearance. It is also buoyant, does not harden with use and has low stretch. We therefore recommend it for all heavily used lines and particularly for rope that is constantly exposed to the sun, e.g. all halyards, stretchers and sheets, and permanent mooring lines.It is also very well suited for luff lines and jib halyards.Colour: Manila brown.Supplied in 220m coils,also available loose or on 110m spools.Please contact us for large-scale projects.

The yellow BACELL mooring buoys are manufactured by the POLYFORM company from Norway and are absolutely unsinkable. BACELL is a foam made of ethylene vinyl acetate, specially developed by POLYFORM, whose closed-cell structure prevents water from penetrating the material. The elasticity of the material also ensures maximum resistance to shrinkage, breakage and deformation. In addition, the buoys are UV and weather resistant.The buoys are delivered fully assembled with hot-dip galvanized and plastic-coated rod and swivel on the bottom.
Will suit many purposes in the fishery, as mooring buoys or markings. Made from PE plastic, buoyancy approx. 1,7kg / 8,5kg, weight 220g / 560g.Available in white and red.

An original idea from Denmark: the patented red-green turning sign, which can be used to indicate to guests whether and for how long the berth is free. The sign can be folded down using the boat hook.A date can be entered on the additional DATO CLIP sign (must be ordered separately) using a felt-tip pen.Available with angled or flat fitting.
The BOATASY GHOOK mooring hook makes picking up the often fouled and overgrown mooring lines easier and ensures fast and safe manoeuvring when guiding the vessel on mooring or box lines. The G-shaped plastic hook consists of a handle with an inserted 7cm wide plastic pulley and a stainless steel safety latch. Due to a hole in the handle, an additional line can be attached to increase the reach of the GHOOK, which is particularly advantageous for larger boats with high freeboard.The BOATASY GHOOK with pulley offers many advantages for port manoeuvres:Instead of using your hands, with the GHOOK mooring lines can be picked up easily and safely with and guided outside the boat with little friction. This reduces the risk of injury from mussels and barnacles sticking to the mooring line and prevents dirty hands and contamination on the hull and deck.Especially in strong crosswinds, quick mooring manoeuvres are important. During marina manoeuvres, the boat can be secured against drifting sideways by using the GHOOK. Possible damage to other boats is thus prevented.
Every sailor knows that often as soon as you find a place to tie up, you discover that there is nothing to fasten the boat.The emergency cleat, made from 8 mm thick stainless steel (AISI316) clamps between the planks on a dock.Shouldn't be missing from any inventory.
