C-Tech and Harken have developed a new style stud and receptacle design that is more robust than the traditional system. It features an extended stud shoulder with a clearance fit so that the bending moment is moved away from the thread root diameter.

The design also ensures the load is consistent regardless of receptacle rotation, especially on upper battens where receptacles rotate on the studs through tacks and gybes. Only C-Tech receptacles are compatible with both high-load and standard Harken studs. 

C-Tech staff Alex Vallings, Lyn Holland, Chris Kitchen, Alastair Campbell and European sales agent Fraser Brown will be at the METS, Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam, 13th - 15th November. Come and visit us in Hall 2 (New Zealand pavilion) Stand 230.

A number of new products will be on display and we would love your feedback.
