Upgrade from my old clutches which were starting to slip, these Clutches look and feel good, great price and superfast delivery (2 days from germany to spain)
Used for the spinnaker halyard and the reefing of a Sun Fast 20. It is not the equivalent of a spinlock because it must be unlocked to be able to pull on the line. Compared to my old blocker, there is no re-tensioning to do to unblock it. Attention 8 mm maximum for the end diameter, otherwise it does not pass.
Very disappointed by this blocker, it does not hold the load on the halyards or on the reefs for ropes of 8 mini meters on an 8.50 sailboat. In addition, the jaws of the blocker damage the ropes.
I am disappointed with the article. I couldn't insert a 10mm line. Even with an 8mm line there were difficulties. With whipping it was not possible even with 8mm. I sent this item back. The withdrawal went without any problems.
