How to Install a Rope Clutch on the Mast of a Sailboat with Sailor James
October 11, 2019 by Sailing Triteia | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:01 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Hello Friends,
On this episode we show you how to install a “Rope Clutch” on your mast. If you are not familiar with what a rope clutch does it is basically a one way channel / brake that allows you to pull the line through one side but it doesn’t allow the line to travel in the opposite direction when engaged.
We installed a used Spinlock clutch we bought for $18 at Minney’s Yacht Surplus for our mainsail halyard and to use when hoisting someone aloft as an added safety measure along with tying off to the cleat.
Thanks for watching !
Fair Winds,
James & Camille

My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
