Wire & Accessories
Rigging wire is a type of wire rope that is used in the marine industry to support and control the masts, sails, and other rigging on boats. It is made of high-strength steel or stainless steel, and is typically coated with a protective layer to prevent corrosion.
Rigging wire is available in a variety of sizes and types, depending on its intended use. For example, shrouds and stays, which are the cables that support the mast, are typically made of larger, more heavy-duty wire rope. Halyards, sheets, and other running rigging, which are used to control the sails, are typically made of smaller, lighter-weight wire rope.
Rigging wire is a critical component of any boat's rigging system. It must be strong enough to support the weight of the mast and sails, and it must be able to withstand the elements. Rigging wire that is not properly maintained can become corroded or damaged, which can lead to serious problems.
Here are some of the most common types of rigging wire used on boats:
- 1x19 wire rope: This is the most common type of rigging wire. It is made of a single strand of 19 wires twisted together.
- 7x7 wire rope: This type of rigging wire is made of seven strands of seven wires twisted together. It is more flexible than 1x19 wire rope, but it is also not as strong.
- 6x19 wire rope: This type of rigging wire is made of six strands of 19 wires twisted together. It is stronger than 1x19 wire rope, but it is also less flexible.
Rigging wire is an important part of any boat's rigging system. It must be strong, flexible, and corrosion-resistant. The type of rigging wire that is used will depend on the specific application.
Here are some of the benefits of using rigging wire on boats:
- Strength: Rigging wire is very strong and can support a lot of weight.
- Flexibility: Rigging wire is flexible enough to allow the mast to move in the wind.
- Corrosion resistance: Rigging wire is coated with a protective layer that prevents it from corroding in saltwater.
Here are some of the risks associated with using rigging wire on boats:
- Damage: Rigging wire can be damaged by chafing, corrosion, or overloading.
- Failure: If rigging wire fails, it can cause the mast to collapse or the sails to become uncontrollable.
- Cost: Rigging wire can be expensive, especially if it is made of stainless steel.
Overall, rigging wire is a safe and reliable material for use in boat rigging. However, it is important to choose the right type of rigging wire for the specific application and to properly maintain it to prevent damage or failure.
