New Swivel Mainsheet Jammer from Allen
by Liz Adams, Allen Brothers 10 Nov 2010 16:49 GMT
The design and development team at Allen Sailboat Performance Hardware were given the challenge of designing a swivelling mainsheet jammer which eliminated the lateral movement of the arms and cleat - a problem many sailors are faced with and which makes cleating and uncleating unnecessarily more demanding.
They have achieved this by improving the base and bearing mechanism using a clever engineering process which creates a smooth groove in the base of the arm for the location of the ball bearings, reducing the friction and play, and therefore improving the performance of the jammer.
Available in standard height and compact versions A5166 (RRP = £86.85 ex VAT) and A5166COMP (RRP = £85.18 ex VAT). Available to purchase from January 2011.
