Sail Handling

Lazy Jack Kits
Allow mainsails to be reefed or dropped with ease, by retaining the sail between lines running from the mast (near the hounds) to the boom. These lines can be slackened whilst sailing to avoid restricting sail shape.

Ideal for use with fully battened or conventional mainsails, these complete kits contain stainless steel, plastic-coated wires with blocks and fixing eyes attached. High quality braided line, all fixings and comprehensive fitting instructions are also included.

A unique feature of Barton lazy jack kits is the soft plastic block covers which prevent sail chafe and enhance appearance.

Lightweight lazy jack kits
These all-rope kits still feature our unique block covers but are inteded for smaller yachts or lightweight use.
Not recommended for large yachts or fully battened mains. We also recommend that the use of a topping lift is retained.

Cascade lazy jack kits
Available in standard and lightweight format. For use with longer boom lengths where more sail control is required.

Mast Step

Single line reefing kit
A boxed complete single-line reefing kit that allows reefing lines to be led aft to the safety of the cockpit.

This system makes reefing your mainsail a quick and easy operation - just lower the main to a predetermined mark on the halyard, tension and reefing line and re-trim the sail.

Supplied as a complete set with all the parts and fittings required, together with full fitting instructions. All you need to provide is a line and a cleat stopper.

Stanchion lead blocks
Mainly used leading headsail furling lines aft, Barton stanchion blocks are available in three sizes to suit most applications.

Double blocks are designed for use with endless line systems and can easily be taken apart to accept pre-spliced lines.

A larger size 4 block should be used for final take-off, especially if the furling line is to be lead to a winch.

All stanchion blocks are available with either plain or ball-bearing sheave.

Reefing/gooseneck hooks
Manufactured in stainless steel, both these types of hook are used in conjunction with slab reefing kits for securing the mainsail tack.

Type 41 517 is supplied in pairs and is intended for mounting either side of the boom at gooseneck level.
Type 41 518 can be mounted above the gooseneck or can be used at the stemhead to accept a jib tack.
