Spinlock Tripping Spike Backrest

SAnti-fog Tripping Spike

Enhance your on-deck safety and performance with the SAnti-fog Tripping Spike, an essential piece of equipment for any serious sailor. Engineered for precision, speed, and reliability, this tool is the ultimate solution for safely and efficiently releasing snap shackles under load. Designed for the demanding conditions of performance cruising and racing, the SAnti-fog Tripping Spike offers confidence when you need it most, ensuring smooth and controlled operations during critical manoeuvres.

At the heart of its design is a commitment to lightweight, ergonomic performance. In high-stakes sailing, every gram counts, and this tripping spike delivers a significant advantage. Its advanced construction makes it substantially lighter than comparable tools on the market, reducing onboard weight and making it effortless to handle. This allows for quicker access and deployment, which can make all the difference in a fast-paced environment or an emergency situation.

The functionality has been meticulously refined based on feedback from professional sailors. Its improved fid design is a testament to this, offering a versatile and effective shape for a wide range of applications. Integrated directly into the fid is a new shackle key, a clever addition that expands its utility and reduces the number of individual tools you need on deck. This integrated key is sized for shackles from 5mm to 14mm, covering the most common sizes found on modern yachts.

Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, the spike is machined from a single piece of high-grade, hard-anodised alloy. This ensures exceptional durability, superior resistance to corrosion from saltwater, and the strength to handle extreme forces without failing. The robust construction guarantees a long service life, making it a reliable part of your safety kit for years to come. For maximum control, the handle features a knurled grip, providing a secure and firm hold even when wearing gloves or operating with wet hands. This tactile feedback is crucial for safe handling during high-load releases, preventing slippage and ensuring precise action. A built-in lanyard attachment hole allows you to secure the tool to your person or a convenient location, ensuring it´s always within reach and never lost overboard.
