This collection gathers textile rigging, soft shackles, loops, low-friction rings, padeyes, strops, hooks, and Dyneema line-control hardware. Use it when you are replacing metal fittings, reducing weight, or cleaning up control-line leads.

For any load-bearing fitting, confirm the manufacturer rating, line diameter, attachment geometry, chafe exposure, and safety factor before installing it in a critical load path.

Compare Rigging hardware by load, attachment, line path, and intended use.

Rigging and line-control questions

Can soft hardware replace metal shackles everywhere?

No. Soft hardware can be excellent in the right load path, but heat, sharp edges, chafe, and point loading still matter. Use manufacturer ratings and inspect regularly.

Which specification matters most?

Start with working load, breaking load, line diameter, bend radius, and how the part will attach to the boat or rig.
