Product details

The turnbuckle cover is designed to protect sails, crew and equipment around the shrouds and turnbuckles. It helps prevent chafe on sails while reducing the risk of injury from exposed metal components in the rig. This improves onboard safety and extends the service life of both sails and rigging hardware during everyday use.

Manufactured from 5 mm neoprene, the cover offers excellent cushioning, flexibility and reliable protection, even under continuous use. An integrated ball chain insert in the lower section provides additional weight to keep the cover securely in place, while the hook-and-loop fastener allows for quick and easy installation without removing the shrouds. The material is UV- and water-resistant, making it ideal for long-term use in the marine environment.

Features:
  • 5 mm neoprene for excellent cushioning and flexibility
  • Protects sails, crew and equipment from chafe and abrasion
  • Integrated ball chain insert for a secure fit
  • Hook-and-loop fastener for easy installation without removing the shrouds
  • UV- and water-resistant for outdoor use
  • Effectively reduces friction against sailcloth
  • Suitable for various shroud diameters (depending on the version)
  • Supplied in pairs for protection on both sides
  • Durable and low maintenance for everyday onboard use

The turnbuckle cover is a practical and robust solution for improved safety and enhanced protection of sails and standing rigging.

Fits like a glove
Good quality. I've had the first ones on the boat for a year now and have just added a baby stay and backstay.

Good product, also for protecting the jib.
The shroud protectors are easy to use, even with shrouds that are already wired. They also protect the headsail, and the jib sheet runs more smoothly past the shrouds during maneuvers. And they look good, too.

Technical question

I need to know what diameter turnbuckle the various sizes (250, 350, 450, 550) will accommodate. Or, what is the internal width of each size of cover at the bottom and the top? I have looked for this info on this site and at G-nautics, but it is not given. Thank you.
