On a sailing boat, the base of the shrouds is a permanent hazard zone. Metal clevis pins, split pins, and rigging screws chafe lines and pose a direct threat to the integrity of your headsails. The Outils Océans rigging screw cover offers a modern, flexible, and durable solution for sailing in complete safety.

Key Benefits That Make the Difference

• Absolute Snag-Free Protection: It completely covers all protruding and sharp parts of the rigging screw. Your jib or genoa sheets glide smoothly without any friction (anti-chafing), eliminating any risk of tearing your sails or spinnaker during tacks.

• 10-Second Installation: No need to disconnect the shroud, remove safety pins, or alter your mast tuning. Thanks to its full-length hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastening and lower chainplate strap, it can be fitted and removed in an instant.

• Maximum Crew Safety: No more cuts or bruises to feet, hands, or knees during occasionally hectic manoeuvres on the foredeck. The textile padding absorbs impacts, effectively protecting your crew.

• Healthy Rigging & Anti-Corrosion: Unlike traditional rigid PVC tubes that trap saltwater and accelerate corrosion, our textile wrap allows air to circulate. It sheds moisture and enables easy rinsing with fresh water without dismantling a thing.

True to the brand’s reputation, this cover is built to withstand the harshest ocean conditions:
