We have taken a Barton favourite and brought it right up to date. Featuring a newly designed swivel and profiled swivel arm, the Swivel Bullseye is now fitted with a unitary bullseye leading to a Kevlar K Cam and top fairlead.

Overall the unit is 45grams lighter than its predecessor and rotates even more easily. It’s ideal for cabin top control lines up to 12mm where adjustability from any angle is required, such as the kicking strap on a race boat, jib sheets on a pocket cruiser or spinnaker boom downhaul.

The Barton Mast Base Organiser is finished in our unique 'Spectro' grey anodising for a long lasting finish. It accepts up to four double tang blocks mounted on individual stainless steel swivel posts, but with just three deck fixing points.

The unit is fitted close to the mast base to accept halyards, reefing lines and topping lift and is designed to work in conjunction with our range of deck organisers, rope clutches and winches, doing away with the need to leave the cockpit when reefing, hoisting or lowering the mainsail.

Specification comprises:

• 'Spectro' anodised aluminium base
• Four stainless steel swivel posts with nylon base washers
• Four pairs of nylon packing washers for tang blocks (not supplied)
