The Spinlock Universal Diabolo Joint is a specialized component designed to enhance the functionality of tiller extensions in sailing applications. Inspired by windsurfing diabolos, this joint maintains the tiller extension in a vertical position when not in use, optimizing space and maneuverability on the vessel.
- Ergonomic Design: The diabolo joint's design ensures that the tiller extension remains upright when not in use, reducing clutter and improving cockpit space efficiency.
- Easy Installation: This joint serves as a direct replacement for existing tiller extension joints, facilitating straightforward installation without the need for specialized tools.
- Vertical Tiller Extension Support: By keeping the tiller extension in a vertical position, the diabolo joint minimizes interference during maneuvers and when the autopilot is engaged.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the diabolo joint is built to withstand the harsh marine environment, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
- Non-Mechanical Helm Feedback: The design of the diabolo joint provides a non-mechanical helm feedback, offering a more organic steering experience for the sailor.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Universally compatible with Spinlock tiller extensions, including models EA and EJ.
- Usage: Ideal for solo sailors and professional crews, particularly in vessels predominantly steered by autopilot systems.
- Applications: Widely used in competitive sailing classes such as Mini Transat, Class 40, Figaro, Open 60, and other boats primarily managed by autopilot systems.
Materials:
- Construction: Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for marine environments.
Dimensions:
- Size: Designed to fit standard Spinlock tiller extensions; specific dimensions may vary based on the model of the tiller extension.
