Link Plates


Link Plates
Link Plates or Stay Extenders are commonly used to add length to shrouds and stays, and are useful for converting an eye into a jaw, or a jaw into an eye, connecting shrouds at discontinuous Spreader Tips, and in many other applications. Link Plates commonly come as a pair with Pins and have multiple holes for a range of adjustment.
Single Link Plates (or Pairs) are generally shorter and are supplied without Pins.
Spreader Tip Link Plates generally have 3 Holes with the center one usually attached to the Spreader Tip Pin.
Triangular Delta Plates for use with split Backstays are listed separately, See Delta Plates.
