Sailing a Laser you will know how important it is to have a tight traveller line.
Keeping your traveller line tight keeps the mainsheet blocks in the corners of the boat, however this can cause a challenge. The new style XD blocks are a lot harder wearing and can cause damage and wear away at the deck of your boat. The new Allen Traveller Wear Protection Pads have been specifically designed to combat this and protect your boat.
These are very easy to install and it only takes a few minutes.
Un-tie your existing traveller line. Take this as an opportunity to check the wear on your fairleads and traveller cleat at the same time. The Traveller Wear Protection Pads are labelled with port and starboard. Simply clip these onto your fairleads. Then thread your traveller line back through the fairleads.
Once in place, your traveller block will slide on top of the pads and put pressure onto the pad rather than on the deck of your boat. No Need to worry about these pads falling out and getting lost as to get them back off need to take the complete traveller line back off the boat.
This is shown below in the photos.
You can buy the Traveller Wear Protection pads on their own or you can buy them as a package that includes more great protection part for your Laser/ILCA.
Great bag of rope cut offs. I exactly what I needed. Good amount/variety of rope. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Highly recommended.
Great spinnaker sheet rope, especially as easily tapered myself to exactly what I need.
Fast ordering and delivery, as well as very competitive price.
Perfect.
Usual excellent Zhik quality, hoping it helps keep my slight daughter warm under her wetsuit. Fast delivery from sailing chandlery, and an excellent price.
I wanted to practice making soft shackles, this rope is perfect and a good price. Thank you
I've used these gloves for gardening jobs for a few years now and they have good grip, flexibility and strength.
Excelent but was too big
Thank you for swapping to 30L
My boat is a Leisure18 built 1996 and I have just replaced the Cam Cleats with the identical model after they have probably been on since new.
Ive owned her since 2011. Let's hope the new ones live up to that.
It’s a well thought through cover that’s robust and with fastening clips it’s easier to put off and on. Most of the fastening straps don’t go full width, so easier still. Compared to the £100 one I had before that shredded within 6 months, this is far far superior.
10 out of 10. Exactly what wanted. Good quality and speedily delivered without any hassle.
Great product
Fast service
Good price
Thanks again always worth trawling through he off cuts. The off cuts are good quality and always worth a look if you need some.
Good advice regards flag staff rope on telephone, prompt delivery at a fare price.
Arrived quickly. Also replaced another item which was the wrong sizewith no fuss at all.
Really good service.
Perfect for getting out of wet clothes, and a great fit.
Ordered the rope I needed in the size I wanted. Delivered promptly and correctly.
Would definitely use again.
Thank you
