Using a clew hook makes it easy to clip on the outhaul the outhaul should be clipped on after the inhaul and clew strap are fastened.
Normal system uses a clew block attached to a hook or shackle so that you can easily detach the outhaul system from the clew of the sail without having to undo any knots.
This product is compatible with laser but is not an original laser.
We use the harken hook supplied by laser performance in conjunction with a choice of block type.
This shackled with airblock operates smoothly and the shackle positively locks closed.
If you 039 ve ever had the hook or line come undone while racing you know just what i mean.
The high load ball bearing block and low friction sleeve allow for greater control of the outhaul while sailing.
The knots used are bowlines tied as small as possible.
There are a number of hooks available and they are subtly different.
Featuring the famous clew stra.
In my opinion having a locking shackle attached to your clew is pretty critical on the laser.
You can also get splice the ends to create less friction on the lines.
The best blocks are ball bearing with a reinforced plastic shell.
Just hook the clew grommet on the integrated hook and go.
