I was hunting for some good sailboat gear to replace my aging blocks, cleats etc, was looking for the brands that came with the boat (not harken, Lewmar, Ronstan etc.) and ran across Viadana. At first I thought is was Chinese as I had never heard of em. But they are Italian, and don’t heavily market there gear. so I thought I would dip a toe in the upgrade waters and get some snap shackles. Here they are the quality of build looks spot on so I will use these on the main and vang as I hate ring dings and we primarily trailer and have to unrig every time.
