How to Install a Rope Clutch on the Mast of a Sailboat with Sailor James
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 SV Triteia
