Mainsail damper | Sail-fuse®

20189

The Sail-fuse® Nodus Factory™ textile shock absorber is an innovative load fuse and mainsail damper. It is designed to protect your mainsail and rig in the event of an impromptu gybe or sudden gust of wind.

How it works:
The Sail-fuse® is made of extremely strong Dyneema® textile webbing. It incorporates an energy absorber that breaks when the load on the mainsail exceeds a certain threshold. This dissipates the impact energy and prevents major damage to your yacht.

Uses:
The Sail-fuse® is easily installed between the boom and the mainsail hoist. It is designed for use on all types of sailboats, from small dinghies to large racing boats.
