Spinlock Eye Candy



Its really a pleasure to be able to view some of the technical capabilities of Spinlock. Seen on the new Gunboat 66 and new Alegre are thesenew carbon padeyes PD6/C, PD8/C, PD10/C and PD12/C.
Constructed from a single loop of 17-4PH stainless steel with no welds, giving excellent strength to weight ratio, Spinlock PD/C Pad Eyes use a stainless steel collar in the laminate area to increase the bearing area  helping minimise the tearing effect suffered by standard pad eyes in cored decks, as well as improved shock loading resistance. This increase in diameter through the collars also reduces the requirement for local reinforcement in the deck area, furthering weight reduction. With their one piece design, the PD/C are able to work efficiently with horizontal loadings, with SWL load 20% above other designs.
