LOOP Products Furling Thimble for 9mm Rope
LOOP Products offer two distinct ranges of furling thimbles, developed to suit different sail and furler integration requirements.
The traditional range uses a straightforward geometry with a dedicated pin hole for connection to the furler drum or swivel, and a single, smooth lashing eye for attaching the sail. This design provides a clean and reliable interface for furling sails where a simple, clearly defined load path is preferred.
The modern, optimised range has been developed to maximise compatibility across the widest possible cross-section of furling systems. These thimbles are standardised around industry-standard torsional rope diameters and feature an oversized pin bore, allowing them to work with a broader range of furler jaw widths and pin sizes. This makes them particularly well suited to modern code zero and asymmetric furlers used with torsional ropes.
When selecting a furling thimble, there are three critical dimensions that must be considered:
- Thimble width, which must fit cleanly within the furler drum or swivel jaws
- Pin diameter, which must be compatible with the furler’s jaw pin
- The diameter of the torsional rope the thimble is designed to carry
This product belongs to the optimised furling thimble range and is named according to the torsional rope diameter it is designed to accommodate.
The LOOP Products Furling Thimble for 9 mm Rope is designed for use with 9 mm torsional furling ropes and features an 8 mm pin bore. The oversized bore significantly increases compatibility with modern furlers. Where a furler uses a smaller pin (for example 6 mm), a simple bushing can be inserted into the thimble to provide a clean, well-aligned fit without compromising load transfer.
The double lash-hole arrangement provides greater flexibility when attaching the tack or head of a sail, allowing the lashing layout to be adapted to suit different sail designs and load paths. This also helps distribute loads more evenly compared to single-eye designs.
Manufactured from high-quality black anodised aluminium, the thimble offers an excellent balance of strength, low weight and long-term corrosion resistance. The straight-sided geometry allows it to sit cleanly inside common furler jaws, while the smooth, radiused lash holes are designed to minimise wear on modern high-performance rope fibres.
