and interior decorating.

Folding Pad Eyes
Most
boat builders opt for Wichard folding pad eyes. Fully
drop-forged without welding, they offer remarkable resistance and thus
ensure higher functional loads regardless of the position. In addition,
by aligning themselves in the direction of the force they can handle
higher operating loads regardless of the position in question.
When
only used intermittently they can be folded down out of the way using
a silicon pad that also eliminates noise and unpleasant vibrations. Our
double folding pad eyes were designed to enable several stays or a baby
stay and a jib tack point to be attached to a single point.
Folding Swivel Snap Shackle
Toe Rail Pad Eyes
Using
three sliding pad eyes, the toe rail can be used without any risk of
damage for a wide range of applications such as attaching running
rigging, barber hauler, boom brake, kicking strap or mooring/fender
line guide when docked. 
U-Bolts
Watertight U-Bolts
Eye Straps and Saddles
Drop-forged
using 316L stainless steel, Wichard eye straps offer outstanding
strength. Their round shape as well as their perfect finish allow them
to limit the wear on the components connected to them.
Eye Bolts and Eye Nuts
Wichard
eye nuts and eye bolts are single-piece forged components that
guarantee you excellent safety standards for your fastenings. They come
in a broad range of sizes, enabling you to find the solutions best
suited to your circumstances.
Should you wish to order large quantities with specific lengths or diameters Wichard can custom produce items.
