These turnbuckles with two stainless steel clevises guarantee solid and robust tightening. It is a model that is intended to stretch the sails. The turnbuckle allows you to fix the cable by adjusting the desired tension.
Besides the tension of the sails, the turnbuckles can be used for the shrouds, lifelines, etc. Its stainless steel material is a robust and anti-corrosion material, two essential properties for its use. These double clevis turnbuckles are available in several diameters ranging from 2 to 10 mm. Each of the turnbuckles has its own breaking load.
To know which turnbuckle you need, it is necessary to know the breaking load of each one. Then, you have to respect the breaking load of the cable and for that, you just have to do a simple calculation: multiply by 2 the diameter of your tensioning system.
