Barton Marine has launched new three sizes of its vang and mainsheet kit.

Available in sizes 2, 3 and 5 these fully rigged sets include everything required for easy installation and are designed to help make boaters’ experiences on the water smoother.

The size 2 kit (02900) is suitable for boats up to 22ft and is supplied with shackle fittings and a spliced soft eye for maximum strength.

Sizes 3 (03900) and 5 (05900) have snap shackles top and bottom with a length of line, again attached with a spliced soft eye.

These are suitable for yachts up to 25ft and 35ft and are free running to help reliable control of a mainsail or boom.

New Laser kits

Working with the company’s ‘Rising Star’ sailor Harry Newton of Whitstable Yacht Club, Barton has developed its Laser kits for summer 2021.

The new downhaul kit provides increased purchase with an 8:1 inline pulley system and is class legal for ILCA and Laser classes.

The kicker kit features a chunkier swivel post on the triple block to enable smoother rotation of the block and additional strength for improved stability.

A pillar fairlead is now included to make cleating and releasing of the rope easier.

“When races are won by fractions of a second, everything needs to click into place perfectly and the new Laser Class legal, Barton Kicker Kit does just that,” said Christian Brewer, Barton global sales manager.
