PLASTIMO Driza Guide Kit for Headsail Reefing Systems

Ensure flawless sail handling and protect your valuable rigging with the PLASTIMO Driza Guide Kit, an essential accessory for your boat´s headsail reefing system. Designed with precision engineering, this kit is the definitive solution to prevent halyard wrap, one of the most common and frustrating issues faced by sailors. By guaranteeing a perfect alignment of the genoa halyard, this guide allows you to sail with confidence, knowing your furling system will operate smoothly and reliably every time you need it.

Eliminate the risk of a jammed furler at a critical moment. The Driza Guide Kit expertly manages the angle of the halyard as it runs down from the masthead, forcing it to remain parallel to the forestay and the furling spar. This simple yet highly effective mechanism prevents the halyard from twisting around the spar during furling or unfurling operations, a problem that can lead to severe equipment damage, costly repairs, and unsafe situations on the water. Upgrade your vessel for enhanced performance and peace of mind.
