Author: Barton Marine   Date Posted:13 August 2020 

Barton Marine has partnered with DeckHardware Marine Solutions Australasia to distribute its extensive range of deck gear across the Australasia region.

Barton’s popular, durable and innovative blocks and traveller car systems and accessories alongside the wider range of deck equipment will be available for chandleries, OEMs and riggers to order in the near future.

Barton is a pioneer of leisure marine hardware with a rich history dating back to 1948 when founder Ron Barton was the first to use Tufnol to develop a range of lighter and stronger blocks before leading the industry into plastic moulding in the1960s. Innovation has remained the creed at Barton and in 2018 the full block range was redesigned to include new contemporary styling, lower profiles and higher load ratings.  The range is competitive for everyone from dinghy sailors to cruising yacht owners adding a new dimension to DeckHardware’s marketplace.

We see Barton Marine complimenting the brands we currently distribute and enhancing the sport that is strong in our region. As well as growing our range of industrial and classic options, its fantastic to be able to distribute a brand with such a rich history.”

Suzanne Blaustone, CEO Barton Marine said, “It is great to have DeckHardware onboard helping to promote and build the Barton following in the Australia region. There is great synergy between the Barton Team and the die-hard sailors in the Yeomans family.  They know their market well and they teach us more everyday about what the region and customers require of marine equipment.   We look forward to working alongside the team to support their sales activities.”
