Barton High Load Eye – Black

Barton High Load Eye – Black is a compact, low-friction rigging fitting designed for sailors who need strong, lightweight lead points without the bulk of a traditional plain bearing block.

Key Features

• Marine-grade construction: Lightweight aluminum body with hard anodizing offers excellent wear resistance for harsh marine environments.
• Versatile onboard use: Suitable for lazy jacks, barber haulers, mast base tidies, stanchion lead eyes, kickers, and other control line applications.

Sailors choose Barton hardware when they want dependable performance, clean rigging layouts, and excellent strength-to-weight value. This high load eye is a practical upgrade for boats where space is limited and efficient line handling matters. Its compact form makes it easy to integrate into modern deck systems, especially where Dyneema and other high-performance lines are used.

Across the Barton range, these fittings are designed to deliver more strength than standard plain-bearing alternatives while keeping friction increase to a minimum. The black hard-anodized finish helps protect the surface from wear and corrosion, making this Barton fitting a smart choice for both performance sailing and everyday cruising applications.
