The present invention provides a composite turnbuckle comprising a pair of c o-axial and spaced annular end fittings. Each end fitting has a threaded interior surfac e and an outer surface. The end fittings are made of metal. The turnbuckle has a body that extends between the end fittings. The body includes a non-metallic material. The end fitting s are secured to the body to limit relative axial movement between the end fittings and the body. The turnbuckle may be used in connection with riggings of sailing vessels, for example.
