Clean line guide on the pulpit
On yachts with double anchor fittings, an aluminium tube can be used to hold the mainsail away from the pulpit. This prevents the sail and anchor from getting in each other's way

This solution is ideal for yachts with double anchor fittings in order to avoid strain on the pulpit in free-flying room sails: An aluminium tube is cut to size and fixed in one of the two fittings with a bolt. The neck line is secured over the tip of the tube.

The space sail can now be kept free from the pulpit without having to dispense with the attached anchor.
