Upgrade your modern rigging setup with these Premium Loop Low Friction Thimbles, engineered for high-performance sailing and marine applications where strength, reliability, and ultra-low friction are essential. Designed for use with soft shackles, high-modulus fibre loops, and Dyneema® rigging, these thimbles provide a lightweight yet incredibly strong alternative to traditional blocks and metal fittings.

 

Crafted from high-strength, anodised aluminium (or composite if preferred), each low friction thimble offers exceptional load distribution and smooth rope handling under heavy loads. The contoured, polished groove minimizes wear on high-performance lines such as Dyneema®, Spectra®, and other modern fibres—making them ideal for gennaker sheets, barber haulers, lazy jacks, soft shackle terminations, and high-load control systems.

 

Designed for both performance sailors and everyday cruisers, these thimbles deliver dependable, maintenance-free operation in harsh marine environments. Their compact, lightweight profile makes them popular for racing yachts, dinghies, multihulls, and custom ropework setups where every gram and every advantage counts.
