Barton Marine High Load Eye 22mm Bore

Barton Marine High Load Eye 22mm Bore is a precision-engineered marine hardware solution designed to maximize the strength and efficiency of the eye while delivering exceptional wear resistance and weight savings. Crafted from marine-grade aluminium and finished with hard anodising (HV500), this eye features a carefully developed curved surface profile to keep friction as low as possible and to endure the harsh demands of on-board systems.

Key benefits

• High load eye with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. Compared with a standard plain bearing block, friction increases by only ~15%, strength increases by ~272%, and weight is reduced by ~51% (data based on using a 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core).
• Wear resistance thanks to HV500 hard anodising; after over 300 hours on an abrasion tester, there were no visual signs of wear on the coating.
• Low friction and smooth operation enabled by the optimized profile of the curved surfaces, ideal for high-load sailing applications.
• Six sizes available, offering versatility across a wide range of deck and rigging setups. Manufactured in marine-grade aluminium with a hard anodised finish for longevity.

Materials and construction

• Manufactured in marine-grade aluminium with a durable hard anodised HV500 finish.
• Lightweight design engineered for strength, delivering superior performance in weight-critical applications such as kickers, tweakers, and barber haulers.
• Data-based performance derived from a 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core configuration.

Applications and practical use

These versatile high-load eyes are suitable for a variety of on-board duties, including lazy jacks, barber haulers, mast base tidies, and stanchion lead eyes. The smallest size accommodates a 3mm line with a bullseye diameter of 6mm, while the largest size accepts a 16mm line with a bullseye diameter of 28mm.
