Swedish boat fitting manufacturer Rutgerson Marin has taken on the challenge of making sails easier to reef with the launch of a Quick Reef Solution (QRS).<\/p>\n
The product consists of two parts of a low-friction ring that are screwed together on each side of a super ring and the sail cloth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis makes it childishly simple and quick to install on the sail since no tools at all are required,\u201d said Rutgerson MD, Charlotte Rutgerson. \u201cThe large radius together with a unique Teflon coated hard anodizing gives very low friction for the line and is gentler on the sail.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWe love figuring out technical solutions that solve several difficulties at the same time and that lead to new products that are easy and fun to use.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is extra fun that the new product QRS is a complement to our existing product The Super Ring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other product features include weight centralised on the sail compared to blocks that have been webbed on one side of the sail.<\/p>\n
The company has also introduced its first openable block, the Rutgerson Snatch Block (RBS) that can be used on almost any block application on a boat or sail such as barber, hauler, genoa line.<\/p>\n
The block is designed with a Rutgerson Low Friction Ring and a Dyneema loop making it suitable for low load high speed or high load low speed applications.<\/p>\n
The block has a high working load and is designed with no loose parts. The low friction ring is anodised with a hard-coat and Teflon-impregnated anodisation with low friction properties.<\/p>\n
The Dyneema loop has a diamond knot, developed in-house to generate twice the strength to the loop shackle compared to a standard diamond knot shackle with the same line dimension.<\/p>\n
The products will be available from January 1, 2021.<\/p>\n
