Trap stopper

(2 products)

Halyard stoppers are important fittings on keel yachts that allow lines to be securely secured under tension. They are primarily used for halyards, outriggers, boom vangs, and reefing lines and facilitate central operation from the cockpit.

  • Function and application of trap stoppers

    Halyard stoppers are usually installed on the port and starboard sides of the companionway, allowing multiple lines to be controlled centrally from the cockpit (piano). The line is routed through the halyard stopper and secured with a clamping lever. Most halyard stoppers allow the line to be retracted without opening the lever; to release, the lever is simply flipped up. Halyard stoppers are available in single and multiple versions.
