Annapolis Performance Sailing (APS) - Melges 24 Turnbuckle Adjustment & Covers

Melges 24 Shroud Adjustment System

Turnbuckle locking system is quicker and more reliable than standard lock-nuts (held in place by shock cord).

Closed Loop Locks: The HTS307 is used for an open body turnbuckle while the HTS601 is used for the Ronstan turnbuckles. The closed loop locks keep the shroud from spinning while the tension is being adjusted. Note: Long enough to avoid deflecting the diagonal shroud while fully tensioned.

H Clips: Let you throw away the lock-nuts and find room for more tension on heavy air days.
