Comparison to Stainless Rings for Lazy Jacks and Other Similar Applications

Note in the photo the difference compared the stainless ring as in used on Lazy Jacks.

  • LIGHTER : Only 7 grams when compared to 15.2 grams for a 25 x 5mm stainless ring
  • PROTECTION : The primary rope is completely inside the thimble and protected.
  • BEND DIAMETER : Rope are weaker when sharply bent. Not the bend diameter size as compared to the stainless ring
  • SAFETY : If this was flying around in the wind and you were hit by it, or it slammed against the mast or boat itself there is no question which is more dangerous/damaging.
