[Alberg30] Norseman/Sta-lok and other Things.

[Mike Lehman]

This is a little hard to describe. These types of fittings are made of two separate pieces. The outer piece screws over the inner piece. The stranded wire has inner and outer strands. The inner strands fit inside of the inside fitting while the outer strands wrap over the outside for the same piece. Then the outer fitting screws over the inside which clamps down on the inner wire core and wedges the cover wire core between to two fittings. The whole thing is very strong and I have been told by marine surveyors that these are actually the strongest type of wire terminals. I know it sounds like a lot of double talk inner and outer this and that but they do work very well although expensive.

  I am replacing all standing rigging and my question relates to terminal fittings and turnbuckles.

  Currently, the rigging is swaged on, and screws into a turnbuckle, with another screw into a fork fitting.

  How do Norseman and Sta-lok attach to a turnbuckle?  I am having a hard time visualizing this.
