The Lewmar DC1 Double Rope Clutch is an innovative solution for sailors seeking reliable and efficient line management. Designed to accommodate lines ranging from 10mm to 12mm in diameter, this clutch ensures secure holding with a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 500kg.
Key Features:
-
Domino Cluster Mechanism: Unlike traditional cam-based clutches that can cause rope abrasion, the DC1 utilises a series of smooth, in-line, and parallel rings—referred to as the Domino Cluster. When engaged, these rings tilt to create friction by flexing the line, providing a secure hold without fraying.
-
Controlled Release: The pull-back handle, combined with a patented clutch and release mechanism, allows for precise and controlled line release, even under full load conditions.
-
Ergonomic Design: The handle is ergonomically designed and provides a solid link to the Domino Cluster, ensuring ease of use and reliable performance.
-
Durable Construction: Incorporating stainless steel fairleads, the clutch reduces friction and enhances longevity, making it a robust choice for various sailing applications.
