Plastimo Clinometer 45 Degrees Tool

PLASTIMO Clinometer 45 Degrees | Precision Heeling Angle Measurement Tool

Master your vessel´s performance and ensure optimal stability with the PLASTIMO Clinometer 45 Degrees Tool, an essential piece of navigation equipment for every discerning sailor. Whether you are a competitive racer pushing for every fraction of a knot or a cruising sailor seeking maximum comfort and safety, this precision instrument provides immediate, at-a-glance feedback on your boat´s angle of heel. By accurately measuring this critical parameter, you can fine-tune your sail trim and crew weight distribution to achieve peak efficiency and maintain perfect balance on the water.

The PLASTIMO Clinometer is engineered for clarity and reliability. It takes the guesswork out of performance sailing, transforming an abstract feeling into a concrete, actionable number. Knowing your optimal heel angle for different wind and sea conditions allows you to replicate top speeds consistently. For cruising yachts, it serves as an invaluable guide for reefing sails at the right moment, preventing excessive heeling that can cause discomfort for the crew and put unnecessary strain on the rigging and hull.

Key Benefits:

* Optimize Sailing Performance: Achieve and maintain the ideal angle of heel to unlock your boat´s maximum velocity. This tool allows you to make precise adjustments to sails and ballast, ensuring your hull is moving through the water with minimal drag and maximum power.
* Enhance Safety and Comfort: Monitor and control your boat´s heeling to prevent broaching or knockdowns. By keeping the heel within a comfortable and safe range, you improve stability, reduce crew fatigue, and create a more enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
* Intuitive and Immediate Readout: The simple, high-visibility display provides a clear and instantaneous reading. The damped mechanism ensures the indicator remains steady, even in choppy waters, allowing for accurate measurements when you need them most.
* Durable and Versatile Design: Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, this clinometer is a robust and long-lasting addition to your equipment. Its versatile design allows for flexible installation to suit your specific needs and vessel layout.
