Plastimo Jib reefing systems are the result of 40 years of experience in this field. Designed for 4 to 11 metre boats our headsail reefing systems meet the needs of all Yachtsmen, whether experienced sailors or beginners. Easily operated underway and virtually maintenance-free, being made from non-corrosive high precision injection plastics and stainless steel components. A great advantage is that Plastimo reefing systems can be easily installed without unstepping the mast. All our stock models of Jib reefing systems are “T” series for twin groove spars which allows the setting of twin headsails and easy headsail changes. All our stock models are turnbuckle mounting which allows more accurate rigging adjustment with the reefer in place - and allows the use of your existing turnbuckle on the forestay. They still include the chain plates end - but have an additional funnel engineered into the spar to run the turnbuckle through. Selecting a model - whilst boat length is important, you must also consider the forestay size and headsail area size to determine which model suits. 609-T Jib Reefing System - 6 to 9 metre (20 - 30ft) boats The 609 drum cheeks swivel through 360 deg ensuring safe manoeuvres through a smooth and regular feeding of the rope.
