Deck Hardware

We are also agents for Rutgerson products. The ocean is right outside the factory in Sweden, and is the testing ground for their range of high quality deck and sail accessories, hatches and portlights. Just some of the items available are as follows (click on the images to go to the Rutgerson site):

• BLOCKS with sheave sizes from 25-80mm in various configurations. Cruising or performanance versions are made from high tensile stainless steel and the most advanced composite material. There are no ball bearings to deform when subjected to load, or to get clogged with salt and dirt. Foot blocks, folding padeyes and deck organisers round out this part of the range.





• ROPE CLUTCHES - two innovatively designed sizes are available: 8-12mm and 10-16mm rope sizes.





• GENOA & MAINSHEET TRACK SYSTEMS range, to suit yachts to 60ft, enable you to effortlessly control the power in your rig. Instead of ball bearings they use the roll-link which stands up to greater stress. A system test by the German Magazine Segln, and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden concluded that "once again it was shown, roll-link are clearly superior to ball bearings". Ask us for a copy of the test results. The track systems can be built in modules for both genoa and mainsheet. Check the website for your requiements.





• HATCHES & PORTLIGHTS is where Rutgerson is outstanding. Lids and frames combine the highest grade Swedish stainless steel and acrylic glass. Hatches have a stunning low profile design with concealed hinges and no seams. Portlights are available in oval, elliptical and rectangular shapes in many sizes. They all come with internal trims and options include flyscreens and templates.

With the Rutgerson motto 'Best in Action' it is easy to see why many of the worlds leading yacht and motor boat manufacturers choose Rutgerson deck hardware.
