Compact, lightweight and made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel – a practical Wichard eye strap for ropes up to 12mm and sailing deck hardware.

The Wichard #30038 Stainless Steel Eye Strap is a simple but useful piece of marine hardware designed for applications where you need a compact and durable fitting for rope or compatible sailing equipment.

Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, it combines corrosion resistance with the strength required for use in a marine environment.

Its key dimensions are:

38mm Fixing Spacing

15mm Height

For Rope up to 12mm

Wichard also specifies that the #30038 can be fitted to Wichard cam-model blocks and cam cleats, giving it additional versatility for deck and sailing-control installations.

Marine-Grade 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard #30038 is manufactured from:

316L Stainless Steel

For yacht equipment, material choice is particularly important. Deck fittings are routinely exposed to water, salt and moisture, making corrosion resistance an essential consideration.

The use of 316L stainless steel makes the #30038 particularly suitable for marine applications while also providing a clean, premium stainless-steel finish.

Wichard describes the stainless-steel eye strap as offering high resistance and strength.

38mm Fixing Spacing

An important measurement when selecting an eye strap is the distance between the mounting points.

For the Wichard #30038 this is:

Fixing Spacing: 38mm

This clearly specified dimension makes it easier to check compatibility with a new or existing installation.

When replacing an existing eye strap or saddle, always check the fixing-hole spacing before ordering.

15mm Height

The #30038 has a height of:

15mm

This provides additional clearance compared with Wichard’s smaller 26mm-spacing model while maintaining a compact profile.

The combination of:

38mm spacing + 15mm height

makes the #30038 a practical medium-size option within Wichard’s stainless-steel saddle range.

Suitable for Rope up to 12mm

Wichard specifies the #30038 for:

Rope Diameter: 12mm

This makes it suitable for larger rope than the smaller #30026 model, which is intended for 8mm rope. Wichard’s larger #30052 model is designed for 16mm rope.

The #30038 therefore sits neatly in the middle of the stainless-steel range:

This makes selecting the correct Wichard eye strap straightforward according to the required installation dimensions and rope diameter.

Compatible with Wichard Cam Blocks

The #30038 can be fitted to:

Wichard Cam-Model Blocks

This allows the eye strap to become part of a more complete sailing-control arrangement rather than simply functioning as a standalone deck accessory.

It is a small component that can help create a cleaner and more practical rope-management setup.

Suitable for Cam Cleats

Wichard also specifies compatibility with:

Cam Cleats

This makes the #30038 particularly useful when installing or upgrading sailing hardware where a suitable stainless-steel saddle or rope guide is required around the cam-cleat system.

Lightweight – Only 10g

Despite its stainless-steel construction, the #30038 weighs only:

10g

This allows you to add a strong and durable fitting without introducing unnecessary weight to the installation.

Its combination of 316L stainless steel, compact dimensions and 10g weight makes it particularly well suited to sailing and yacht deck applications.

Technical Specifications

These specifications are confirmed by Wichard’s current product information and technical catalogue.

Small Component, Practical Function

Good deck hardware does not need to be large or complicated.

The Wichard #30038 provides a straightforward stainless-steel solution when you need a compact fitting with clearly defined installation dimensions.

The essential specifications are easy to check:

38mm Fixing Spacing

15mm Height

For 12mm Rope

Only 10g

This makes it easy to determine whether the #30038 is the correct size before installation.

Designed for Marine Applications

Even a small deck fitting needs to withstand demanding conditions aboard a yacht.

Salt, water and constant exposure to moisture mean that choosing a quality material is important.

The #30038 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, making it a much more appropriate choice for marine use than an unspecified general-purpose metal fitting.

For a premium yacht installation, this means a clean appearance combined with the durability expected from quality sailing hardware.
