Going behind the scenes at Barton Marine highlighted the skill and craftsmanship involved in creating one of their robust blocks many of us rely on out at sea. It is truly a team effort and the care taken to ensure quality product is available for sailors around the world to use is clear. Here is a 40 second video to show how a Barton block is made. From metal work and moulding of the components, to the hand assembly and quality control at every step, a British icon is born. #bartonmarine #bartonblocks #deckequipment #marineindustry #britishmanufacturing

Shroud tensions on a dinghy are critical to performance, and being able to replicate those settings time and again is vital. The problem has always been that rig gauges wear as they get older, leading to decreased accuracy and you sailing with the wrong rig settings. Using another rig tension gauge, even if it’s of the same make and design, can often give two completely different numbers, which makes it near impossible to replicate settings from a tuning guide unless you have a brand-new rig gauge. This led Daniel Henderson and the team of engineers at Sea Sure to develop the Rig Gauge Pro. Designed to give you the same accurate readings time and time again, so that you can perform at your best and have confidence that your rig is set up right. Sea Sure's Daniel Henderson explains why the Rig Gauge Pro is so different. Now available from your local chandleries, including Marine Super Store, Force 4, Fox’s Chandlery, Pinnell & Bax, Hartley Boats.
