Quality sailing hardware that lasts

Schaefer Marine has built a strong reputation for quality, USA-made sailboat hardware. The line covers blocks and pulleys, mainsheet and genoa travelers and cars, furling systems for headsails, boom hardware, and a range of deck hardware for running rigging and sail control. Engineered for strength, smooth operation, and durability in the marine environment, Schaefer gear handles control lines reliably and holds up to the loads of sailing. Trusted by cruisers and racers alike, it is the choice for sailors who want well-made hardware to rig, upgrade, or maintain their boat. For sailing hardware that performs and lasts, Schaefer Marine is a respected option.

Choosing the right hardware comes down to load and application. Match blocks, travelers, and cars to the line diameter they handle and the working load, since strength rating and sheave size matter for smooth, safe operation. Match traveler and furling systems to your boat size and rig. Confirm the fitting suits your mounting and existing hardware, and for a furler, your forestay and sail. Review the product details and load ratings against your setup before buying. With Schaefer Marine hardware, you handle sail with smooth, strong, reliable performance that lasts.
