Deck Hardware

Nautisports offers a wide range of practical and affordable rigging accessories. Rigging includes all the accessories a sailor needs on the deck of his boat to handle his sails. One of the best rigging accessories to have on the deck of your boat is the Pulleys . Pulleys are accessories, often made of stainless steel, used to lift objects to a height. In this case, using a pulley on a boat allows you to hoist a flag or raise the sails.

Pulleys are accessories that allow sailors to hoist their sails without having to climb to the top of the masts. Nautisports has a large number of rigging accessories in stock, including many pulleys in stock at a good price.

SNAP HOOKS AND SWIVELS

The other two essential rigging accessories on the deck of a boat are Snap Hooks and Swivels . Snap hooks are accessories in the form of a metal ring with an easy and quick to use attachment system, very useful for stowing a load, mooring on a mooring or for tensioning a rope such as halyards or sheets. Swivels, on the other hand, are accessories that work thanks to a fixing system which allows at the same time the rotation of an object around an axis.

Find a selection of different snap hooks and swivels that will be useful for your sail maneuvers for different types of boats (pleasure or yacht). Find many brands of rigging accessories such as Plastimo and Osculati, which you must have on board your boat for safe navigation.

DECK HATCHES AND PORTS

The Deck Hatches & Ports are the equivalent of the windows of a boat. A deck hatch is placed on the deck of the boat, necessarily on a flat surface. A portlight is installed on the hull of the ship and is often oval in shape. A portlight can be either opening or fixed. The deck hatch is a rigging equipment favored by sailors for its practicality. Note that some deck hatches are stronger than others, depending on the traffic on the deck. A portlight is extremely useful on a boat because it acts as a window in brass.

The Lewmar and Plastimo brands offer a range of quality portlights and deck hatches for ships. Their available stock is quite important because it is essential equipment. To view the products in stock and get an overview of all the products, see the images on the product sheets.

Once you have made your choice of portlight, you can order it and receive it by delivery, provided that the product is available. When you have received your portlight, you will be ready to install it and go to the ocean on the spot. Note that we do not recommend buying an opening deck hatch with a wooden frame, for durability reasons. Give preference to aluminum, even if you sometimes have to pay the price. Finally, be careful to choose the right size of portlight. Note, however, that from 150 euros of purchase, delivery is free on Nautisports.

JAM CLEATS

This product is often available at a reasonable price, in the majority of jam cleat ranges. These products are essential elements during your outings on the water.
