Fairleads

 Hello All, Does anyone know of a supplier(UK) for fairleads or  something similar through which to lead the control lines through the deck to the sails? Thankyou

Hi Ray

Nobody else seems to know the answer to your question, the last time that I used fairleads was for anchor chains and I had the same supply problem so for these I used 1/2 inch brass eyelets, could you use shoe lace eyelets or is a circular shape not what you are looking for.

Hi Ray

Have a look at http://www.sailsetc.com  (Bantock’s site)   they do several sheet leads and through deck pullies.  I have found their service quick
