In this set up the Loop Boa Base would effectively become the base for the original clutch housing.
\nThe Loop Boa Base uses a textile rope clutch design. This has proven very popular in many racing teams recently.
\nA textile rope clutch uses a hollow, braided textile sock which allows the rope to run freely in one direction, but when running in the opposite direction, can immediately hold it in place \u2013 think Chinese finger trap, and you\u2019re not far off how it works.
\nThe cousin constrictor can reduce wear and tear on the line. But they may not be suitable for every job onboard, thus combining this technology with the traditional jawed clutch allow the user to get the benefits of both clutch types.
\nAs another advantage, this system potentially doubles the number of clutches that can be fitted in a given space without having to drill new holes.
\nThe Boa Base uses the same fixings as Spinlock\u2019s double, triple and quadruple format XAS and XTS\/XCS series clutches, which simplifies installation.
\nPrice: From \u20ac124.
