Another boat fitted with Barton fittings is Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes double-handed men's Skiff, a 49er class boat. Stevie has fitted 16 of our very smallest High Load Eyes (part number 60450) on board. Designed for 3mm control lines and weighing in at just 0.8g, they are incredibly light yet very strong. Each one is CNC cut from solid marine grade aluminium bar then hard anodised to 25 microns for a smooth running surface.

Commenting on the High Load Eyes, Stevie said: ‘The easiest, lightweight solution to keep our systems running on the boat'.

All the best of luck to Stevie and Ben, who have been selected to compete in the Olympics.
