ABSTRACT:
A connection assembly for marine rigging in the form of ropes and rods employs a relatively thick rigid internal tang that is mounted in an opening in a mast or other tubular member. A keyhole is formed in the tang in the opening which is arranged to receive a key affixed to the end of the rigging. A pocket extends into the tang from the side thereof inside the mast, at a point that is spaced vertically from the keyhole. This pocket receives the rigging key after it is seated in the keyhole so that when the rigging is in its normal orientation with respect to the mast, its key is securely locked in the keyhole.
