10.60 €A single clutch is designed to lock a single rope, while a double clutch is able to lock two simultaneously. The choice depends on your specific needs, the configuration of your deck layout, and the number of ropes you need to manage.
For proper maintenance, regularly rinse the clutches with fresh water to remove accumulated salt and dirt. Lubricate the cams and moving parts with a lubricant specifically designed for nautical equipment to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the materials.
For the mainsail sheet, it is advisable to use clutches with a high working load, such as the Lewmar D2 or D1 series, depending on the size of your boat and the sail area. Also consider using a clutch with remote release for added safety in an emergency, especially in strong wind conditions.
Lewmar clutches are designed to be used with synthetic fiber ropes, such as polyester, nylon, or Dyneema. It is important to choose a clutch with the appropriate diameter and working load for the type of rope you intend to use. Avoid using damaged or worn ropes, as they may compromise the effectiveness of the clutch and the safety of the maneuver.
