NORSEMAN cones for 7 x 7 and 7 x 19 strand rope construction.

NORSEMAN cones for 1x19 strand rope construction.

PETERSEN STAINLESS RIGGING LTD, a manufacturer of high quality stainless steel rigging components, has developed the well known NORSEMAN terminals under the new brandname HI-MODE.These high precision terminals, manufactured in England from stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), are stronger dimensioned than the breaking load of the strongest wire fitting for them. The newly developed cone with crown ring enables the very simple and safe fitting to the wire with on-board means, that is without milling and pressing. There is no need anymore for sealants when fitting the wire and cones are reusable if undamaged. It is necessary to order special cones for wire constructions 7 x 19 und 7 x 7. One Cone for wire 1 x 19 is included. Additional designs of swageless compression terminals for wires up to 26 mm are available (prizes on request). A detailed application instruction comes with the shipment.

An annoying problem on sailing boats is the chafing of expensive sails on the shrouds or the reeling. SAILGUARD protects the sails and makes tacking and jibing easier. SALGUARD turns with the sail and is therefore not a hindrance during any maneuver.The plastic wheel is simply attached to shrouds, stays or other thin parts of the rig and fixed in place with a clip, without the need for time-consuming removal of shrouds or stays. SALGUARD turns with the sail and is therefore not a hindrance in any maneuver.2 pieces in a set.

Then stays, shrouds or topping lifts can be wrapped onboard.Yield:A running meter of this chafe guard yields approx. 25 cm onboard (for wires with 14 mm diameters).TOPLICHT makes this chafe guard by hand to order in our workshop.

The sail protector made from white plastic is mounted to the front railing or the shroud simply by clipping the two parts on.It protects the foresail when sailing close-hauled or the mainsail when reaching from chafing.Also the foresail goes about a lot easier when tacking.

Practical and well designed: the crosstree frapper made from silver grey plastic is mounted to the spreader with the help of the enclosed cable ties and there is no more flapping at night!
