Ronstan Latest Launches at Mauri Pro Sailing

Ronstan is always developing new products to improve the sailor’s performance. This time, Ronstan has launched a new segment of furlers for free flying sails, the new RF45130 Orbit block with soft Dyneema loop becket and cam cleat, a spinnaker pole mast slide (ring type), new colour combinations for the c-cleat to easily code your control lines and a tough mini snap shackle ideal for halyards. The flying sail Ronstan Furlers are the result of an extended development program that have already been seen in action on number of high profile racing boats and have proven themselves to be extremely efficient and reliable. The Ronstan Spinnaker Pole Slide is the latest addition to the Series 25 T-Track range. It features a sleek, high performance composite construction. The grade 316 stainless steel ring and glass reinforced nylon body are designed for maximum strength. The ever-popular C-Cleats and accessories have had a facelift with new colour combinations, which Ronstan have introduced recently. Their "classic" C-Cleat with grey cap/grey base, and T-Cleat with red/grey base, will remain in production but the rest of the range has already changed to the new look.

The Ronstan Mini Snap Shackle is the latest addition to the range of fixed bail snap shackle. Stainless steel is used throughout for excellent corrosion resistance. It is only 32mm in length and weights 10g. Finally, Ronstan recently added the Orbit Block Series 40 BB single with a becket, cleat and swivel head (RF45130) to the popular S40 Orbit Block range. This new block is the same as the existing RF45131 with the only difference being the stainless steel swivel shackle head.

ZHIK: Deckbeaters Shorts

	The Zhik R & D team has finally cracked it! Over twelve months of design and testing has gone into Zhik’s latest product to hit the stores: the Deckbeaters. Deckbeaters began life when keelboat sailors told Zhik that the existing padded/hiking shorts in the market were uncomfortable, didn’t fit right, too hot and sweaty and inconvenient as you have to wear them to the bar later.

Designed to be worn either underneath your normal sailing short or over your suits, Zhik Deckbeaters provide the ultimate in hiking comfort, which also being extremely breathable to keep you cool. The pads have perforated holes in them to aid the breathing process and there is Zhiktex fabric on the bum panels for added durability. These shorts will become vital pieces of sailing clothing for all keelboat racers, once someone wears them on a boat, the rest of the crew will follow suit.
