Product overview

What it is

A deadeye for synthetic and wire standing rigging: the fitting that lets you tension a lifeline or stay with a lashing instead of hardware. Ours is printed in PA-CF, a nylon reinforced with carbon fiber, and generated parametrically so the groove, body, and holes match your wire exactly instead of forcing your rig to match a catalog.
