Made from turned ash wood, oval wood sphericals to make a parrel line for sails and gaffs.They can be strung onto a parrel line.Unfinished. To protect them, the parrel beads should be soaked in linseed or wood oil.Variations in the dimensions, due to the manufacturing process, are possible.
Traditional mast hoops for bending the luff of a gaff sail on the mast.Made on an English boat yard from steamed ash wood ledges in layers, hot bent and oiled. Because the hoops come not glued, but only temporarily secured with a bolt, they can simply be mounted around the standing mast and riveted with the enclosed copper rivets on board.The hoops are treated with linseed oil. We recommend to varnish or oil treat them before installation. The inner diameter of the mast hoops should be approx. 20% larger than the maximum mast diameter.
Ring for lugger rigging, to hoist the yard (gaff).Beautiful simple bronze fitting, welded, cleanly sewn by hand with leather.The halyard suspension is constructed in such a way that the ring stays approximately horizontal under load and thus has little friction.D2 should be approximately 1.2 times the size of the largest mast diameter.
Made from ash wood.On flat-bottomed boats, half-moons serve to raise the mainsail throat with help from the halyard on downwind courses.The half moon is attached to the lower parrel line between the parrel beads, then the halyard is laid on the half moon.
The luff of a (gaff rigged) main sail is lashed to the mast with these wooden mast hoops.Traditional rings made from cold-bent beech-wood with long, overlapping openings, locked by stainless steel bolts.Suggestion for size determination:Inner diameter of the mast ring should be about 20% greater than the maximum mast diameter.
