Description
8mm Dog Bone
Enhance your sailboat rigging with our premium Aluminium Dog Bone, a versatile and durable solution for all your rigging needs. Crafted from high-strength, marine-grade aluminium, our dog bone offers superior performance and reliability.
Key Features:
Durable Construction: Made from marine-grade aluminium, this dog bone is resistant to corrosion and designed to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater sailing.
Lightweight and Strong: The aluminium construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your rigging remains light while maintaining robust performance.
Versatile Design: Allen dog bones are shaped differently to others on the market. Our triple cut-out design allows the rope to be looped perfectly around the dog bone without losing any strength in the rope. The two protruding edges between each of the three tapered cut-outs act as a barrier which stops the dog bone from being able to slip off the rope. Cross holes on each end allow for an attachment of a leash line. The end is also recessed to allow the small knot of the leash line to sit inside the dog bone to keep it flush.
Easy to Use: The simple design allows for quick and secure connections, enabling fast adjustments.
Compact Size: The streamlined shape and compact size ensure minimal interference with other rigging components, optimising the overall efficiency and neatness of your rigging.
Finish: Anodized in six colours for added corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
