This surface-mounted sheet fairlead in bronze and lignum vitae guides a sheet or control line through a hardwood ring. The lignum vitae forms the rope's contact surface, while the bronze frame holds the ring in place.
Unlike the version with through-mounted threaded studs, this model is surface-mounted using two side lugs, each with two fixing holes. Installation requires fixings suited to the mounting surface and the loads transmitted by the line. The fairlead should be aligned with the rope to avoid excessive chafing.
Available for 10 or 12 mm ropes, it is suitable for fitting out and restoring traditional deck hardware on classic sailing boats, particularly where surface mounting is required.
| Reference | Length (A) | Width (B) | Internal diameter (C) | Thickness (D) | Fixing screw diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9404/LA/BS/10 | 74 mm | 32 mm | 12 mm | 6 mm | 3.5 mm |
| 9404/LA/BS/12 | 74 mm | 32 mm | 15 mm | 7 mm | 4 mm |
Depending on the mounting surface, you can use wood screws or machine screws with matching nuts and washers for through-bolted installation. The diameter and strength of the fixings must be suitable for the fitting and expected loads.
Please note: on wooden boats, moisture and salt water can promote electrochemical reactions involving metal fittings and timber, potentially causing deterioration of the wood around the fixings.
We recommend using compatible marine-grade fixings, avoiding combinations of dissimilar metals wherever possible, and ensuring the installation is properly sealed.
This sheet fairlead is also available in chrome-plated brass upon request, with a lead time of approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
This sheet fairlead is handcrafted using century-old moulds, which may result in slight variations in the bronze. These characteristics give each piece its own distinctive character and authenticity.
Solid bronze offers excellent resistance to weathering and marine conditions, helping preserve the quality and integrity of the material over time.
