Superbraid Loop Harware

Equiplite products employ a proprietary Deneema SK 75 super braid loop to take the majority of load in quick connectors, blocks and deck loops. These fittings have been in use for up two years on top boats, Volvo, Americas Cup, Open 60´s, Maxies and many others. Just pass the loop through the hole and back over a groove on the fitting.

Weight Counts!

Light weight means a faster boat. Modern boats go to extraordinary lengths in design, cost and materials to save weight, Equiplite hardware pays dividends as connectors on the lee rail and at the bow. Up the mast, where weight requires over 5 times that weight in the keel to compensate, Equiplite halyard connectors and blocks especially important for maximum performance.

Advantages are significant

Join the hundreds of top boats using the Equiplite advantage. Equiplite fittings can be up to 90% lighter. Weight savings vary depending on type and comparison but general range is from 60% to 87% for the same load. Equiplite fittings don´t fatigue or jam if overloaded as do stainless connectors and unlike stainless fittings can take reasonable overloads without detriment. Wear is easily visible, they will not flog off even without the velcro locks. In a panic sail change the velcro can be attached later... and they do far less damage to masts, spinnaker tracks, decks and top sides. They are available in any size for any use, at competitive prices.

Long life

Loops are made of the strongest available UV tolerant Deneema SK 75 material. Deneema is a tough long wearing material coated with long life UV resistant waterproof coating and if used with a smooth connection hole is long lasting, any wear is clearly visible and loops and velcro ties are replaceable. Volvo AC and top racing boats have been using them for up to 12 months and 30 000 hard racing miles, and they are still going strong, while some fittings are on their second set of sheets.
