WICHARD

Since 1919, Wichard has been forging equipment for industrial use. In the 1970s this focus broadened to yacht fittings and providing quality parts for the marine industry.

Products are designed and developed with two specific goals in mind: safety and comfort.

Wichard equipment forms a bridge between the age-old tradition of forging and the high demands of modern sailing.

The hard-wearing, long-lasting range includes forged stainless-steel shackles, pad-eyes, stay tensioners, mooring hooks, plus offshore safety knives and tethers.

Whether you’re cruising or sailing competitively at club, regatta or Olympic level, you will always find the right Wichard product to meet your expectations.

Wichard is available and in stock at On Deck UK. Find out more on the Trade Portal or view the product range in the Wichard catalogue.
