Description
The WICHARD anti-chafing washer is a tool for sail protection. It is used to make optimized settings on board. This washer is supplied as a pair. It is used for cruising or regatta sailboats. Regarding the other sailboats, no certification is given.
The sails, especially those at the front of the boat, tend to wear out very quickly. This is due to friction on the stanchions or on the die. This problem is very common, especially when the boat turns in a strong wind. Friction must therefore be reduced as far as possible.
Using the WICHARD anti-chafing washer means that the risks of snagging and wear are considerably reduced. This is possible thanks to its fairly large holes, which can accommodate cables and dies with a diameter between 6 mm and 10 mm. The washer is easy to clip. We pass the cables through it by drilling in the center. These dimensions favor simpler and easier maneuvers.
This small accessory has a very negligible weight, estimated at 0 g. The diameter of the washer, in total, is 70 mm. With its off-centered shape, this washer allows tension to be taken up. It has a total of 6 holes all along its circumference and a smaller hole in the center. This WICHARD washer is white in color.
Thanks to the toughness and rigidity of the material used for manufacturing, this WICHARD washer has a very long life. It is reusable at will. This washer model is a registered model.
