Spreader Cage Jib Protector - You will NEVER, EVER have another spreader tip caused jib tear. And your tacks will be the fastest ever experienced!
We have all done it. Rigger's tape around the cotter keys and sharp objects. The tape lasts two seasons at best. Leather patches on the leech's rub area. Extra weight up high. Rubber boots surrounding the spreader tip/shroud intersection. They rot after a couple years and sails hate to slide over them. Plastic wheels on the shrouds above and below the spreaders. UV cooks them in a couple years. They don't always protect as designed and in heavy air the sail slips in between them. Tear.
Not any more. These lightweight FRP rods (15 oz.) provide a perfect surrounding for the spreadertip/shroud intersection to insure the sail cannot come in contact with anything but a SUPER slippery surface.
Never spend hundreds of dollars on leech tears again. Easy to install and easy to remove if you un-step at season end. And with a simple step you can provide, they will last indefinitely.
EMC's Spreader Cage JIB Protector offers complete protection for your jib leech by enclosing the spreader tip/shroud connection inside an ultra-light rod cage that ensures the jib cannot come in contact with any sharp edges or fasteners.
Rust proof & UV resistant FRP shafts, and acetyl end caps form a minimum windage protective barrier that provides silky rods for faster and easier tacks.
No more rubber or leather sleeves to rot or plastic wheels to crack!
Five year guarantee.
