Low Friction Ring
Rutgerson Low Friction Rings are high-strength aluminum rings with hard coat anodizing, designed to provide minimal friction and maximum durability in harsh marine environments. They are an excellent lightweight alternative to blocks in applications with high loads and limited line movement, such as backstays, reefing systems and jib sheet leads.
Rutgerson Low Friction Rings are a reliable and durable solution for guiding lines on sailboats. Manufactured from high-strength aluminum with a special low-friction hard coat anodizing, they ensure smooth line movement with minimal wear and long service life.
These rings provide a lightweight alternative to traditional blocks, especially in applications where loads are high but line movement is limited. Typical uses include backstays, reefing points, jib sheet leads and lazy jack systems.
Thanks to their robust design with no moving parts, they require no maintenance and deliver long-term performance even in demanding marine conditions.
