About
The business began in 1967 as FJORD Nautical Instruments, a partnership founded by Gail and Capt. Edward Ratigan to make a compact nautical range-finding analog calculator. In 1991 FJORD developed the Chafe-Pro concept for protecting marine lines from chafe, and in 1995 received a US patent for its wrap-around hook and loop closure. FJORD was incorporated in North Carolina in 1997; the founders handed the business to their son Michael in 2010.
All Chafe-Pro products are manufactured in North Carolina, and the Chafe-Pro name is registered in the US and the EU. Chafe-Pro received Practical Sailor's Gear of the Year Award in 2011.
