Barton 7mm Dyneema Loop

The Barton 7mm Dyneema Loop with hard-anodised high-load eye 22mm bore is a compact low-weight solution for redirecting running rigging on deck. It provides a high-strength low-friction change of direction so your lines run cleaner and topside weight is reduced.

If you need a lightweight alternative to bulky blocks or a fast temporary attachment point you face trade-offs between friction, strength, and wear. This loop and high-load eye combination solves that by pairing a wear-resistant hard-anodised aluminium eye with a high-strength Dyneema SK75 loop for a simple, high-performance reroute point.

• Strength increased 272% compared to a standard plain bearing block (data based on 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core)
• Friction increases by only 15% versus a plain bearing block
• Weight reduced by 51% improving topside performance
• Hard-anodised aluminium eye for low friction and strong wear resistance
• 22mm bore fits common blocks and toe rail fittings for versatile installation
• 7mm Dyneema SK75 loop offers high tensile capacity with minimal stretch

Use cases include barber hauler fittings, preventers, mast base block tidies, emergency or occasional blocks, and toe rail blocks. Unlike a standard plain bearing block this loop-plus-eye option lets you add a strong redirection point quickly without permanent hardware changes.

Manufactured by Barton Marine Part No 60461. Materials and test figures are supplied by Barton and are based on a 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core. If you want a measurable increase in strength with significant weight savings this loop provides a verifiable technical solution for your running rigging.
