This is what self-sufficient sailors have been waiting for all their lives. A bombproof mast tang that will accept a lashing or soft loop without chafing the line through or breaking the bank. Those converting to light, strong, and economical synthetic standing rigging in favor of heavy, corrosion-prone, expensive stainless steel wire rope will find these tangs not only elegant and useful, but easier to install and use than any other alternative.
Made from powder-coated 6061 T6 aluminum plate a full half-inch thick, with smoothly radiused lashing holes and the optimum angle transition from mast to shroud. Use a single for cap shrouds, intermediates, and runners, or a double for lowers. The half-inch bolt hole can be drilled out as big as 5/8″ without compromising strength, or bushed to accept smaller diameter fasteners.
