Small, strong and corrosion resistant – a premium 316L stainless steel eye strap for practical deck and sailing applications.

The Wichard #30026 Stainless Steel Eye Strap is a simple but extremely useful piece of marine hardware.

Designed as a compact attachment and guiding point, it has a 26mm spacing between its fixing points, a height of 11mm, and is suitable for 8mm rope. Wichard also specifies that it can be fitted to its cam-model blocks and cam cleats.

Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful where you need a neat installation without adding unnecessary size or weight to the deck.

Marine-Grade 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard #30026 is manufactured from:

316L Stainless Steel

This marine-grade stainless steel provides the corrosion resistance needed for hardware that is regularly exposed to moisture and demanding marine conditions. Wichard describes the eye strap as offering high resistance and strength.

The result is a small fitting designed for long-term use aboard sailing yachts and boats.

26mm Fixing Spacing

One of the most important dimensions when selecting an eye strap is the distance between its fixing points.

For the Wichard #30026:

Fixing Spacing: 26mm

This compact spacing makes the fitting particularly useful where installation space is limited.

If replacing an existing eye strap, always check the mounting dimensions before ordering to ensure compatibility.

11mm Height

The #30026 has a manufacturer-specified:

Height: 11mm

Combined with its 26mm fixing spacing, this gives the eye strap a very compact profile.

It can therefore provide a practical attachment or guiding point without creating a bulky fitting on the deck or around sailing hardware.

Designed for 8mm Rope

Wichard specifies the #30026 for:

Rope Size: 8mm

This is an important detail when choosing the correct size.

The combination of 26mm spacing, 11mm height and compatibility with 8mm rope makes this model a useful compact accessory for appropriately sized sailing control lines and deck installations.

Compatible with Wichard Cam Blocks & Cam Cleats

The #30026 is not limited to use as a standalone deck fitting.

Wichard specifically states that it can be fitted to:

Wichard Cam-Model Blocks

Cam Cleats

This makes it particularly useful when completing or adapting sailing-control systems and associated deck hardware.

It is a small component, but one that can help create a cleaner and more functional installation.

Extremely Lightweight – Only 3g

The complete stainless steel eye strap weighs only:

3 grams

For a sailing yacht, reducing unnecessary weight is always beneficial, especially when multiple pieces of hardware are being installed.

Despite its tiny 3g weight, Wichard describes the stainless steel saddle as providing high resistance and strength.

A Small but Useful Deck Accessory

On a sailing yacht, some of the smallest fittings can have an important role in creating a clean and functional deck layout.

The Wichard #30026 offers a compact stainless steel solution that can be used with suitable rope and associated deck hardware.

Its key dimensions are easy to identify:

26mm fixing spacing
11mm height
For 8mm rope

This makes it straightforward to determine whether the eye strap is suitable for an existing installation or a new deck-hardware project.

Built for the Marine Environment

A small fitting installed on deck still needs to withstand exposure to the marine environment.

For this reason, material quality matters.

The #30026 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, providing the corrosion resistance expected from quality marine hardware.

This makes it a much more appropriate solution for marine installations than an unspecified general-purpose metal eye strap.
