Fairlead - Italian

Contemporary Italian styled stainless steel single straight fairlead.

A fairlead is a device used to guide a rope or chain to prevent it catching or fraying. Fairleads allow your line to be pulled in a direction that is not always straight. For example, when raising or lowering sails the rope passing through the fairlead is pulled horizontally, while it hoists the sail vertically. Not only does it maximise your pulling power, but it can also help keep the deck orderly and arranged. Fairleads also prevent a straight run of line from vibrating or chafing on the deck surface.

This straight fairlead is made from mirror polished AISI 316 marine grade stainless steel. It comes in a choice of two lengths 200mm (8″) and 255mm (10″), so is suitable for different sizes of lines. The curved hooks are beautifully shaped and ooze Italian elegance, they would be the perfect finishing touch for any boat.

There are two countersunk 6mm holes for screwing the fairlead to the deck.

This fairlead is perfect for most medium sized vessels.
