Remote-controlled guide line with bolt ring
When casting off with a crosswind, a cross-connection to the stretch rope prevents the bow from being driven to leeward in its own box. With our device, you can dispense with the foresailor, who throws it off when called, and cast off alone without any problems. The pull line on the bolt ring of the snap shackle replaces one person, so the shackle can also be opened from the cockpit. The cross-rope with the ring, which runs over a block on the spreader rope, remains on the spreader rope.
