Barton Marine 60 451 High Load Eye 12mm Bore Aluminum

The Barton Marine High Load Eye with 12mm bore is an ergonomically designed marine hardware fitting engineered to maximize strength and efficiency. Featuring HV500 hard anodizing and optimized curved surface profiles, this high load eye delivers exceptionally low friction performance while maintaining impressive strength-to-weight ratios. Ideal for applications including kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, lazy jacks, mast base tidies, and stanchion lead eyes where weight savings and strength are critical.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from marine grade aluminum with hard anodized finish
• HV500 hard anodizing provides superior wear resistance and low friction properties
• 12mm bore diameter for line attachment
• 272% stronger than standard plain bearing blocks
• 51% lighter weight than comparable blocks
• Only 15% friction increase compared to standard blocks
• Optimized for use with 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core line

Exceptional Wear Resistance:

The HV500 hard anodizing process delivers outstanding durability and friction reduction. After more than 300 hours of abrasion testing, no visible wear on the anodized coating could be detected, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding marine environments.

Barton Marine's High Load Eye represents a significant advancement over traditional plain bearing blocks, offering nearly three times the strength at half the weight with minimal friction penalty. This makes it an excellent choice for performance-oriented sailors and cruisers seeking to optimize their rigging systems.
