Ronstan Mast Exit Plate 316 Stainless Steel Halyard Exit Plate

The Ronstan Mast Exit Plate is a premium 316 stainless steel spar fitting designed to protect halyards, control lines, and other running rigging as they pass through exit slots in aluminium masts and spars. By providing a smooth, rounded surface around the mast opening, the exit plate significantly reduces rope abrasion, minimises wear, and improves the longevity of both the rigging and the spar.

Manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, the Ronstan Mast Exit Plate is engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and saltwater. The polished finish not only enhances durability but also provides a professional appearance suitable for both racing and cruising yachts.

Available in multiple sizes to suit different rope diameters and mast slot dimensions, Ronstan exit plates are commonly installed during new yacht builds, mast replacements, or rigging upgrades. They are ideal for halyards, reefing lines, internal outhauls, topping lifts, and other control lines exiting the mast.

Whether you're refitting a trailer yacht, upgrading a cruising yacht, or preparing a race boat, the Ronstan Mast Exit Plate provides reliable protection and smooth rope handling for years of dependable service.
