Allen Brothers Blocks

Pulley blocks are essential for managing high-tension sailing lines, redirecting force, and reducing friction to enable smooth sail adjustments. Allen Brothers blocks range from small, high-speed Dynamic Blocks with stainless steel ball bearings, to the robust High Load and TiiTAN blocks designed to withstand extreme loads. For instance, the 20mm Dynamic Block (A2020) is ideal for dinghies, windsurfing, and small line systems due to its low friction and lightweight construction. The High Load Blocks, such as the A2020HL, incorporate V-shaped stainless steel sheaves, making them compatible with both wire and Dyneema® and enabling them to withstand higher static loads. The TiiTAN & XHL Blocks take performance further with ceramic bearings and titanium sheaves, which reduce friction while accommodating extreme static loads by switching to a plain bearing mode that preserves the ball bearings.

Rope Cleats & Jammers

Rope cleats and jammers are vital for securing control lines in place, preventing slippage under load, and enabling quick adjustments. Allen’s Cam Cleats, like the A677, utilize self-cleaning spring-loaded cams to grip lines, designed for quick and efficient release by pulling up on the line. The Mainsheet Jammers are engineered for heavier loads, making them suitable for primary sail control systems where lines need to remain secure under constant tension. Additionally, Swivel Cleats allow attachment from different angles, providing flexibility when working with lines that approach the cleat at varied angles due to changing sail or wind positions.

Traveller Cars

Traveller systems enable lateral adjustment of the mainsheet or jib sheet, allowing for precise control over sail shape and balance. Allen Brothers Jib Cars come in mini, maxi, and low-profile variations, offering options for different vessel types and load requirements. The Maxi Profile Cars, with optimized track and roller systems, allow smooth lateral movement for higher loads. Pintstop Cars, which use a pin-locking system, enable incremental movement and secure positioning on the traveller track, ensuring stability and load distribution across the deck.

Deck & Hull Fittings

Deck and hull fittings play a critical role in organizing lines and securing key points on the boat. Anchor Plates and U Bolts are reinforced with corrosion-resistant stainless steel to handle high-load rigging and anchoring systems. Deck Bushes, available in aluminium and nylon, create low-friction routing points that prevent chafing on lines. The Self Bailer, common on dinghies, allows water to drain from the cockpit automatically as the boat gains speed. These fittings ensure both structural integrity and efficient water management, essential for maintaining boat performance and durability in diverse sailing conditions.

Allen Brothers Spars & Rigging

Spars and rigging components are designed for managing sail setup, adjustments, and tension on rigging lines. Goosenecks, typically constructed from high-strength aluminium or stainless steel, connect the boom to the mast and act as a pivot point for the sail. Spinnaker Pole and Jib Stick Fittings include quick-release mechanisms, allowing efficient spinnaker deployment and retraction. High-strength pins, like Clevis Pins and Rigging Screws, secure rigging attachments, with options available in various materials for corrosion resistance and longevity.

Rudder Stocks & Accessories

Rudder stocks and accessories enable responsive steering and control, with components like Rudder Pintles and Gudgeons providing secure yet removable attachments for the rudder. Allen’s pintles and gudgeons are machined to tight tolerances to ensure minimal play and smooth operation. Tiller Extensions, offered in lightweight aluminium and carbon, allow skippers to steer from a range of positions, improving comfort and maneuverability. Carbon tiller extensions are especially useful for reducing fatigue during extended navigation or racing.

Sailmakers Hardware

Designed specifically for sail reinforcement and attachment, sailmakers hardware includes durable Batten Pockets and Slides for battens, which add rigidity and improve sail shape. Allen Brothers Sail Shackles and Thimbles are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to create secure but easily adjustable sail connections, ideal for varying wind conditions. The sailmaker hardware range also includes specialized fittings for specific sails and configurations, ensuring reliable performance and flexibility across diverse sailing setups.

Allen Brothers Shackles

Allen Brothers offers a variety of sail shackles for securely connecting blocks, lines, or rigging hardware. Forged Shackles are designed for maximum load-bearing capability, using high-strength stainless steel for durability and rust resistance. Pressed Shackles, a lighter and lower-profile option, provide a secure connection in applications with moderate loads. Tii-Shackles offer soft attachment options, reducing weight and adding flexibility, particularly in lightweight and high-performance setups, such as racing dinghies.

Allen Brothers Accessories

The Allen Brothers accessory range includes tools and add-ons to enhance sailing performance and convenience. Splicing Kits contain tools necessary for creating durable splices in synthetic lines, a valuable skill for maintaining lines under load. Wind Indicators offer visual wind feedback for optimal sail trim adjustments. Other accessories include Trapeze Hardware, Toe Strap Plates, and Tidy Clips, all designed to facilitate organization and improve crew safety and comfort on board.

Aluminium Yacht Fittings

Specialized for larger yachts, the Aluminium Yacht Fittings collection provides corrosion-resistant, lightweight hardware for securing lines, mooring, and enhancing on-deck safety. Stanchion Bases, made from reinforced aluminium, offer strong attachment points for deck safety lines, while Toe Rail Spring Cleats provide flexible, adjustable mooring options without requiring additional holes in the deck. These fittings are crafted to withstand the elements and are suitable for demanding marine environments..
