406S Jib Reefing System with Chainplate

406S Jib Reefing System with Chainplate
406 S : for boats from 4 to 6 m (14 to 20 ft).
The 406 S features all the advantages of a large headsail reefing sytem : Delrin® twin ball bearing races in both drum and halyard swivel. All components are manufactured from polyarylamide.
Enjoy family cruising or fishing with a perfectly peaceful mind : a "S" headsail reefing gear is a totally reliable crewmember.
All moulded components are manufactured in Plastimos' Lorient (France) workshops, using high-pressure injection techniques. This engineering process gives the composite material properties which are comparable to certain metals, while remaining totally impervious to corrosion, therefore virtually maintenance-free.
The "S" series of headsail gears are extremely easy to install and take down. It requires no unstepping of the mast, and no modification of the forestay, thanks to a unique (patented) design which allows quick and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
The inner PVC liner is clipped onto the forestay and the aluminium spar slides easily over the PVC liner.
The risk of tearing sails at junctions is therefore much reduced.
The unique design allows swift and easy installation directly on the tensioned forestay.
Combined with the mounting of PVC and alloy spars alternatively, this system guarantees maximum performance and the reliability on most types of yachts, without altering the boat's original characteristics
