Instead of the usual rollers, only one open roller is screwed onto this extension. The end of the luff tensioner always remains in the clamp, the rope is only fed through the roller block in the sail, then placed over the open roller of the extension and trimmed - a \"loop-and-go method\" that is already familiar from trimming the boom end. Prerequisite: A pulley block sewn to the sail rotated by 90 degrees, common with Severne sails. No threading is actually necessary for this, this part of the rigging can actually be done within a minute. The disadvantages should be obvious to anyone who paid attention in physics lessons: The fewer load-bearing ropes, i.e. deflections, the greater the tractive force required. However, the developers at Severne must be given credit for the fact that friction losses appear to be minimised thanks to the clean guidance of the tampon. Nevertheless, as team rider and co-developer Dieter Van der Eyken points out, \"the Cyclops is primarily designed for wave and freestyle sails, which naturally require comparatively lower trimming forces\". Another feature, however, makes trimming noticeably easier: the rope end can be converted into a convenient eyelet using a rubber tube supplied - in times when almost all sails have a rope pocket on the inside of the protector, the eyelet disappears without a trace after trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle loop-go pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficient pulley alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew stainless steel automatic collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel button and mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero cm setting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Severnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54095741124803,"sku":"40000000015241","price":161.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/6755\/5011\/files\/Severne-Cyclop-Hd-Alloy.jpg?v=1713118723","url":"https:\/\/windspirit.ca\/products\/severne-cyclops-hd-24","provider":"Wind Spirit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
