Key Features and Unmatched Versatility

This high-performance U-bolt is designed to be a truly versatile component for any sailboat or powerboat. Its intelligent design makes it the perfect solution for numerous tasks on deck and below.
* Multi-purpose: return at the bottom of mast, reef, return pulleys, various fixings.
* Optimized dimensions, round model for ropes and straps, square model for metal fasteners (screed) and straps.

The smooth, continuous curve of the round ring is specifically engineered to be gentle on your lines. It minimizes chafe and wear on ropes and webbing straps, extending the life of your running rigging and tie-downs. Unlike angular or poorly finished alternatives, the Wichard design ensures a low-friction surface for lines to run against, making it ideal for high-load applications like mast base block returns or reefing points.

Every Wichard U-bolt is hot-forged from a single piece of metal, a process that aligns the material´s grain structure to create a component with no weak points, welds, or seams. This forging technique results in a significant increase in mechanical strength and reliability compared to inferior cast or welded parts.
