Spinlock XX Rope Clutches
Spinlock XX Rope Clutches are the only secure clutch solution for genoa and spinnaker halyards on performance yachts from 35 to 50 feet. It is a securing clutch for high loads. The jaws were designed for consistent holding of blended covered ropes. The one-piece jaw set is easy to remove and clean. The XX clutch is optimized for high performance 8 to 12 mm line diameters. Several special purpose clutches are available in the XX version including a Lock Open Version and Side Mounting version. Choose an XX powerclutch for working loads and diameters that can’t be held reliably with conventional clutches but where the winched release of the ZS is impractical. The Lock Open version allows lines to run freely in or out with the handle closed. It is ideal for applications such as spinnaker sheet and mainsheet where locking is rarely needed.
XXA0812 offers users high performance on lines 8-12mm, loads up to 1800kgs. For users looking for enhanced performance on small diameter blended covered lines, load holding up to 2350kgs and excellent resistance to abrasion on powered hoists and control, look at the new XXB0812.
Also available in the XX Range is the XXC with ultra high performance and ultra lightweight body.
