Railing cables and pads - Marinekauppa.com

In the Railing Wires and Pads selection you will find the parts needed for building and maintaining a deck railing. Plastic-coated railing wire is available in 3 mm thickness, a ready-made 7 mm railing wire set in 10 meters, and Parafil 7 mm railing wire in a 30 meter roll for larger renovations. Blue Performance's padded railing wire covers in three lengths (1.0 m, 1.5 m and 2.0 m) protect sails and ropes from abrasion, and the selection also includes a separate backrest to be attached directly to the wire.

Plastic-coated wire is the standard solution for railing wires, as the coating prevents the wire from chafing against sails, ropes or the user's skin, while maintaining the strength of the stainless steel wire. The choice of wire thickness (3 mm vs. 7 mm) depends on the intended use of the railing — the lighter 3 mm is suitable for smaller boats and retrofit applications, while 7 mm is a more common choice for actual deck railings.

Padded covers are especially recommended where the genoa rope or other sail repeatedly rubs against the guardrail wire during sailing — they significantly extend the life of both the wire and the sail by preventing wear caused by repeated friction.

The choice of the strength of the railing wire directly affects safety — 7 mm wire is standard for the actual deck railing, which acts as the final barrier to falling overboard, while the lighter 3 mm wire is more suitable for supplementary or decorative use, not as a primary safety structure. The condition of the plastic coating should be checked regularly for cracks and wear, as a damaged coating reveals the steel wire underneath, which can begin to rust and weaken without a protective layer. The installation of padded covers should be focused especially on areas where the genoa or other sail repeatedly rubs against the wire during tacks — without a cover, both the wire coating and the sail fabric will wear quickly from repeated friction. Installing a backrest on the wire adds comfort on longer sailings, but its attachment should be firm so that it cannot move or cause additional stress on the wire when sitting under weight.

It is worth checking the tension of the railing cable regularly, as a loose cable no longer serves as a reliable safety structure against falling overboard.

The combined effect of the handrail and its padding protects both the user and the boat effectively in the long term.

Regular inspection of the wire and padding as part of other deck maintenance keeps the entire railing system safe and in working order.
