For small boat backstays, Gottifredi Maffioli's, SK99 core, Ultrawire is the perfect performance composite solution that is robust, simple to use and affordable. Your Backstay will be custom made to your required length by expert riggers and finished with a removable lash thimble at the lower end and a soft loop at the upper end for attachment directly onto a pin in the mast head crane. To order your custom length backstay, select the product with the required SWL or break load and the cable length that is the next size up from your required length. For example, if you require a backstay of 16,675mm you should order the 17,000mm cable and during the checkout procedure you should enter your required, finished backstay length in mm (which we will measure and supply from bearing surface to bearing surface of the spliced eye at each end) in the box marked 'Special Instructions'.
