Turnbuckle Recommendation
I am in the market for bronze turnbuckles for my 16,000 lb Bermuda rigged double headsail sloop. I recall that Brion and others have commented favorably on Hayn turnbuckles. My standing rigging terminates with spliced wire around bronze thimbles. Looking at the Hayn catalogue I note two options: Eye toggles and jaw toggles. Does either offer an advantage over the other in this application, e.g. strength, longevity, etc. What considerations should inform my decision?
Thanks. |
Bronze Turnbuckles
I am glad we can still find some available , and I chose "Jaw" ends , used with eye Sta-Locs on the wire , so that I could change the wire end to end , when the lower end showed signs of rust corrosion ,,, sort of what we do with galv anchor chain rode .
I purchase some from Brion Toss , and they are life-time jewelery ,,,, Phew !!! |
