Collection: Rigging

Getting the right fit matters more than most buyers expect with this type of hardware. Barton's Windicator range is a good example: these wind indicators are designed for specific sailing classes and race grades, so the WP200OPTI is built for Optimist dinghies while the WP400 suits ocean racing applications. Before ordering, confirm the model matches your class rules or intended use, since dimensions and mounting points differ between models. Facnor furling systems and Lewmar maintenance parts like pawl springs round out the range, with the latter worth keeping on hand if your winches see regular use.

Ronstan's track and car hardware covers sail control at multiple size points. Tracks run in series sizes of 19mm, 25mm, and 32mm, and cars must match the track series, so check your existing setup before ordering. Within a given series, top style varies across channel, saddle, and tandem configurations, each suiting different sail trim arrangements. Composite track offers a lighter alternative to alloy for weight-sensitive builds. Adjustable and spring-loaded stop options give racers finer control over sail position without requiring tools on the water.
