Low friction rings are at the heart of Antal Soft links. Simple, lightweight, and resistant Rings, together with more sophisticated products, such as Solid rings and Hooks, revolutionized the way boaters design fixed and running rigging on sailboats, and not only on sailboats. Thanks to the perfect polishing Soft links give extremely low friction. Thanks to their simplicity they cut prices down and require absolutely no maintenance. The universal solution and versatility are the name of the game.
Use a Ring as a barber, a lazy jack, on the backstay bridle instead of a sheave or for 8:1 control systems. Rings can also be used for reefing, 3D genoa adjusting, and as a block. Antal Low Friction Rings are made from polished hard black anodized aluminum and come in five sizes from 7 - 28 mm to fit line sizes from 5 - 20 mm.
