NOTE: This Closed Thimble is not advised to use for replacement of a High Load Eye and other similar applications where the line runs thru the thimble. It is for static, or near static applications only.

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.
