Unlock superior line handling and extend the life of your ropes with the genuine SAnti-fog XTS/XCS Cam Module Lock Up Version. This essential upgrade is engineered for sailors who demand maximum efficiency, control, and versatility from their deck hardware. Designed as a direct replacement part, this module seamlessly converts your standard SAnti-fog XTS or XCS rope clutch into a "lock open" version, providing a significant performance advantage for a wide range of sailing applications, from competitive racing to performance cruising.

The primary benefit of this conversion is the ability to temporarily disable the clutch´s gripping mechanism, allowing a line to run completely freely in both directions without any friction or wear. This is ideal for lines that are frequently adjusted or need to be released quickly, such as spinnaker sheets during gybes, mainsheets, or furling lines. By engaging the lock-open feature, you prevent unnecessary chafe on your expensive ropes and the clutch´s internal components, drastically increasing the lifespan of your equipment. This simple yet powerful modification transforms your high-performance clutch into an even more adaptable tool on deck.

Key Benefits:

* Enhanced Performance: Achieve faster, smoother, and more efficient sail handling. The ability to let lines run free is critical for high-speed manoeuvres and rapid adjustments, giving you a competitive edge when it matters most.
* Reduced Rope Wear: Protect your investment in high-tech lines. By disengaging the cam, the rope can pass through the clutch without the abrasion and compression that occurs with a standard closed clutch, significantly reducing wear and tear.
* Increased Versatility: A single piece of hardware can now serve dual purposes. Use it as a world-class clutch for static loads or engage the lock-open feature to use it as a low-friction fairlead for active lines.
* Simple Conversion: The module is designed for easy, drop-in replacement. You can quickly and effortlessly upgrade your existing XTS or XCS clutches without the need for specialized tools, getting you back on the water with improved functionality in minutes.

Teethers and Technical Specifications

The heart of the SAnti-fog clutch´s holding power lies in its advanced cam mechanism. This module´s precision-engineered ´Teethers´ are designed to provide a firm, non-slip grip on the line when the clutch is engaged, ensuring maximum load-holding capacity. The unique "Lock Up" feature works by retracting these ´Teethers´, creating a clear, smooth channel for the rope to pass through without contact, thereby eliminating friction and wear.
