Barton Marine Equipment Ltd

42340 Continuous Line Furler

Barton Marine are pleased to add the new HB1 Continuous Line Furler to their expansive range of deck equipment for 2025.  Designed to provide optimum performance for dinghies and small yachts in even the most challenging conditions, the robust, lightweight and stylish Furler introduces innovative hybrid-bearing technology for the first time and will be available to view on stand 220 at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show.

The durable central shaft is manufactured from high grade 316 stainless steel and the sleek main chassis and fork from anodised 6061 aluminium, providing superior strength and durability.  The combination of solid-state and Torlon ball bearings mean the furling wheel remains perfectly balanced and spins freely, even under the highest loads for maximum performance.

Weighing just 175g, the feather weight Furler has an impressive safe working load of 600kg (1320oz) allowing sailors to push to the limits knowing it will not let them down.  Suitable for 4mm (3/16”) to 6mm (1/4”) Furling line with toolless rope insertion making for easy installation with no parts lost on deck.  The continuous line makes for easy operation and excellent rope grip.

Samples of the HB1 Continuous Line Furler on view in stand 220 and will be available worldwide in April.   To find out more about the Barton range of over 2500 products visit Bartonmarine.com.

Suzzanne and Amarcord Team

Barton Marine continues to expand its distribution network through the appointment of Amarcord Marine Ltd in Hungary.  Amarcord Marine is the sister company of Galco Yachting Ropes, a well-established family-owned manufacturer with six generations expertise in creating quality ropes for general use and two generations specifically for sailors.  The Barton range of marine equipment complements the wider Amarcord Marine offering to provide a one stop shop for the Hungarian boating marketplace and territories. 

Sailing in Hungary is a vibrant and growing sport, centred primarily around Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe measuring nearly 600 square kilometres and stretching nearly 80 kilometres along Hungary’s southern foothills. The lake hosts numerous regattas, including the Kékszalag (Blue Ribbon Regatta), which is Europe’s oldest round-the-lake sailing race.  The Hungarian government is an active supporter of the industry with the development of youth programs and training schemes which has seen an increased international presence on the racing scene and several Olympic sailors competing on the world stage.

Barton product will be available from Amarcord Marine in Galco Yachting Rope shops, online and at each of the 12 Galco Yachting Rope Shows scheduled this year, the first one already held in Palić, Serbia. 

Mariann Gal, Owner of Galco Yachting Ropes / Amarcord Marine Ltd said, “We are enthusiastic about supplying the premium quality Barton products, made in the UK, to Hungarian sailors and our industrial customers.  Barton, similar to Galco, is a traditional company with similar values and pays special attention to clients’ needs, fast shipping and excellent customer service.  An important factor of our collaboration is our relationship with CEO Suzanne Blaustone and the Barton Team.  Their energy, dedication and passion for Barton products guarantees a fruitful partnership.” 

Suzanne Blaustone, CEO Barton Marine added, “We absolutely love working with Amarcord Marine as distributor for our extensive high-performance range of deck equipment for Hungarian sailors and also seeking further industrial targets.  With retail outlets in key locations and a newly developed web shop, the Barton range will be more accessible in the region than ever before.  Mariann’s enthusiasm to support and serve the marketplace is infectious.”

2025 Genoa Cars

Barton Marine’s headline product launch at METSTRADE 2024 was a totally re-styled and engineered range of Genoa Cars.  This new launch for 2025 sees several years of research and development come together in a range of products that provide exceptional durability, functionality and sleek contemporary style for sailors and OEMs worldwide.

Crafted in strong light-weight aluminium for both pin or towable versions, the new Genoa Cars are anodised in a choice of contemporary Black and Spectro silver colours, suiting multiple uses and tastes. 25mm and 32mm GT options are available to fit existing track layouts.  An exceptional heavy duty (HD) 32mm option is available for larger craft and higher load capabilities.  A key point for riggers and boat owners is that inserts are available to ensure the new Barton cars are compatible with any track used on yachts globally , so removing and installing new track on existing boats is unnecessary.      

The new range raises the bar for performance and durability with high grade aluminium anodised for superior protection in the marine environment, combined with corrosion resistant nylon inserts for long term, low friction and smooth running.  The pin down versions feature simple-to-grip plungers which are easy to operate in sailing gloves or with wet fingers while maintaining the sleek streamline design that resists line snags or catches.  

The 25mm cars are ideal for yachts ranging from 7-10m (23-33ft) with a maximum break load of 2280kg (5016lbs) and for use with line diameters of up to 16mm (5/8”), whilst weighing just 247g (8.7oz) and 297g (10.5oz).  The towable track end with becket takes lines up to 8mm (5/16”) and weighs a mere 121g (4.3oz).

The 32mm cars suit yachts from 9-15m (30-49ft) with a maximum break load of 3280kg (7216lbs) for the GT versions and 5970kg (13134lbs) for the HD versions.  They also take lines up to 16mm (5/16”) and have the capability of taking 2 lines simultaneously allowing for a multitude of rigging needs.  They weigh between 561g (19.8oz) and 820g (28.9oz).
