Description
High Load Eye 6mm Bore Available in six sizes. Manufactured in marine-grade aluminum with a hard anodized finish.
These lightweight high-load eyes are suitable for a variety of uses on board, from lazy jacks, barber haulers, and ast base tidies to stanchion lead eyes. The smallest size can be attached using a 3mm line with a bullseye diameter of 6mm.
The largest size can be attached using a 16mm line with a bullseye diameter of 28mm. Ergonomically designed to maximize the strength and efficiency of the eye.
With HV500 hard anodizing and the profile of the curved surfaces, these have been developed to keep friction as low as possible. The range has amazing strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for use as kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and anywhere where weight saving and strength are important.
Wear Resistance The hard anodizing HV500 has amazing low friction properties. After over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, no visual signs of wear on the anodized coating could be found.
Features: High load eye compared to a standard plain bearing block on average across the range Friction increased by only 15% Strength increased by 272% Weight reduced by 51% Data based on using 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core

Sailing — frequently asked
- How do I size a block for my sailboat?
- Match the block to the line diameter it will carry and to the working and breaking loads of the system (sheet, halyard, control line). Makers publish load ratings and line-size ranges — choose a block whose working load comfortably exceeds the real-world load, without going so large it adds needless weight.
- What is running rigging?
- Running rigging is the moving lines that control the sails — sheets, halyards, and control lines — as opposed to standing rigging (the fixed wire that holds up the mast). Running rigging should be matched to the boat’s blocks, clutches, and winches for smooth, reliable sail handling.
- How do I maintain sailboat winches and hardware?
- Rinse with fresh water after sailing, keep sheaves and bearings clean, and periodically service winches (disassemble, clean, and re-grease per the maker’s instructions). Marine-grade stainless and good maintenance keep hardware working smoothly when loads are high and timing matters.
