Gloma Nautica Webbing Eye Straps

Gloma Nautica’s Webbing Eye Straps are precision-forged fastening components crafted to secure flat webbing, ropes, or cables to hard surfaces in marine and structural applications. Produced in Spain using only AISI 316 stainless steel, these low-profile eye straps combine clean aesthetics with exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. They’re built to withstand the punishing demands of ocean exposure, high-load rigging, and long-term outdoor installations without degradation or failure ([glomanautica.com][1]).

Each webbing strap features a slightly arched or flat bridge between two solid mounting feet. This geometry offers both low-clearance anchoring and a secure tie-down point. Whether used on sailboats, rigid inflatables, rescue equipment, or architectural installations, the design prevents webbing slippage while distributing load across the mounting base—reducing strain on fasteners and increasing overall stability. The shape accommodates webbing widths typically used in safety harnesses, lashing systems, or deck gear and can also support halyards or synthetic lines depending on diameter.

Gloma Nautica manufactures these eye straps by forging, not casting. Forged fittings are structurally superior due to aligned grain patterns and higher load thresholds. If overstressed, forged eye straps deform visibly rather than fracture unexpectedly, which is a vital safety feature in rigging and life-critical installations. Forging also ensures tight dimensional tolerance, uniform mechanical strength, and resistance to fatigue cracking, making the product suitable for mission-critical marine setups.

AISI 316 stainless steel, enhanced with molybdenum, provides long-term durability in corrosive environments such as saltwater, brine, and coastal humidity. This material choice guarantees resistance to pitting and rust, particularly in tight clearances or under persistent UV exposure. The mirror-polished finish further defends against fouling, reduces drag in dynamic applications, and improves ease of cleaning and inspection—key advantages in sailing, diving, and offshore equipment.

Webbing Eye Straps are available in a range of sizes, with matching screw hole spacing to accommodate metric or imperial fasteners depending on deck or hull material. Each size and model is tested to meet Working Load Limits (WLL) appropriate for marine and industrial safety standards. Gloma Nautica ensures traceable quality control throughout the production process, inspecting for dimensional accuracy, weld-free integrity, and tensile performance.

Common applications include fastening lifeline webbing to sailboat stanchions, holding bimini or dodger straps in place, organizing rigging lines on deck, attaching safety belts or harnesses to rigid surfaces, and creating modular mounting points on trailer frames or rooftop cargo systems. These versatile, minimalist fittings also see use in architecture for tension cable layouts or decorative outdoor installations where weather resistance is essential.

 Because they provide safe, sleek, low-profile tie-down solutions built from premium materials, forged for superior mechanical integrity, polished for longevity, and backed by certified European manufacturing. Whether you’re a boatbuilder, outfitter, or marine contractor, these eye straps offer peace of mind, performance, and permanence.
