Spreader End for Linked Rigging
- For linked lateral rigging on 30'-70' yachts; works with both wire and rod rigging with stemball terminals.
- Minimal distance from shroud to the edge of the spreader end, so the jib can be sheeted close to the shroud.
- Big smooth surface, no tape required; no split pins to catch sails or halyards.
- Cast stainless steel, AISI316.
