🛡️ A high-performance shield for your turnbuckle
On a sailing boat, the base of the shrouds is a permanent hazard zone. Metal clevis pins, split pins, and rigging screws chafe lines and pose a direct threat to the integrity of your headsails. The Outils Océans rigging screw cover offers a modern, flexible, and durable solution for sailing in complete safety.
💎 Key Benefits That Make the Difference
-
⚓ Absolute Snag-Free Protection: It completely covers all protruding and sharp parts of the rigging screw. Your jib or genoa sheets glide smoothly without any friction (anti-chafing), eliminating any risk of tearing your sails or spinnaker during tacks.
-
⏱️ 10-Second Installation: No need to disconnect the shroud, remove safety pins, or alter your mast tuning. Thanks to its full-length hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastening and lower chainplate strap, it can be fitted and removed in an instant.
-
🩺 Maximum Crew Safety: No more cuts or bruises to feet, hands, or knees during occasionally hectic manoeuvres on the foredeck. The textile padding absorbs impacts, effectively protecting your crew.
-
💨 Healthy Rigging & Anti-Corrosion: Unlike traditional rigid PVC tubes that trap saltwater and accelerate corrosion, our textile wrap allows air to circulate. It sheds moisture and enables easy rinsing with fresh water without dismantling a thing.
🌊 Marine-Grade Materials & Exceptional Durability
True to the brand’s reputation, this cover is built to withstand the harshest ocean conditions:
-
High-tenacity coated textile: heavily resistant to continuous friction from lines, sea salt, and harsh UV exposure.
-
Heavy-duty fastening system: a wide Velcro strip with high grip strength, engineered to endure endless open/close cycles in harsh marine environments.
-
Structural treatments: fully UV-stabilised, rot-proof, and treated to resist degradation from salt and hydrocarbons.
