For nearly 80 years, Barton Marine has been making and dispatching world-class blocks from our factory in Southeast England. Starting in 1948, in Whitstable, famed for its shipwright heritage, our founder, Ron Barton, was one of the first to use a fabric based laminated plastic called Tufnol and stainless steel to manufacture yachting blocks which were much lighter and stronger than previously achievable. As a marine company of many firsts, including being the first to use injected plastic moulding for our whole block range in the 1960s, we provide the peace of mind that when you buy a piece of Barton equipment, you are purchasing more than just a block, you are investing in a traditional company, which has always kept innovation in its sights.
Great people, great products - I had a custom track made for my mainsheet (40' trimaran) it's a beauty. I have also ordered a load of their low friction rings. Good value for money.
British manufacturing company for sail boat fittings and deck hardware. Distributing through Marathon Leisure in the UK and various other worldwide distributors.
We are pleased to be hosting a series of short talks during the RYA Virtual Dinghy Show. Join in and get to know some key members of the Barton team. Their passion for sailing goes into every block designed and made so we wanted to give customers around the world the chance to meet and ask questions.
This past week we sponsored an event with Marine Industry News. Lauren Mead from TeamO, was a guest speaker for the Women in Marine Event.
