1. A toggle (1) for rigging of a boat or a crane, comprising:
a) a first coupling end (100)
i. comprising a first coupling means (110) providing a first axis of engagement (120); and
b) a second coupling end (200)
i. comprising a second coupling means (210) providing a second axis of engagement (220);
c) the first and the second coupling means (100, 200) arranged a distance apart from each other;
d) a closed-loop connecting means (300)
i. made from a fiber reinforced plastic,
ii. comprising a plurality of fibrous layers (320) laying one above the other in a local stacking direction (v), and
iii. wherein between the first and the second connecting means (110, 210) the closed-loop connecting means (300) is twisted such that the local stacking direction (v) rotates approximately 90° about a local longitudinal direction (w) of the closed-loop connecting means (300);
e) the closed-loop connecting means (300) loops about the first axis of engagement (120) and
f) the closed-loop connecting means (300) loops about the second axis of engagement (220),
