Wichard 15/64 in Stainless Folding Pad Eye

The Wichard Folding Pad Eye 15/64 in Stainless Steel provides a deck or hull attachment point for compatible sailing hardware. The forged metal fitting is shaped to accept a shackle, stay, or other suitable connection. Its folding eye lies closer to the mounting surface when not in use. The design is intended for installed hardware rather than temporary line clipping.

Folding the ring down reduces the amount of hardware standing proud of the deck. A cushioning pad reduces metal-to-deck noise and vibration. Wichard lists applications such as stay attachments, lifelines, and jib tack points. The mounting-hole pattern and eye clearance are important when planning the installation.

Wichard lists a marine working load of 2,510 lb for this model. The corresponding breaking load is 6,610 lb. Check the stated mounting dimensions before drilling or replacing deck hardware. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
