This robust #1 jib hank is engineered for ultimate durability and corrosion resistance, fabricated entirely from premium 316L stainless steel. This high-grade material ensures that the stainless steel sailing hardware withstands harsh marine environments, providing reliable service season after season. Designed specifically to secure your sail to the wire forestay, the mechanism utilizes a secure sliding piston to deliver a positive Jib forestay snap lock, giving you confidence in all conditions. This is the ultimate 316L stainless steel jib hank solution.

As a standard #1 jib hank, the unit features an opening length of 0.375 inches. This design is optimized to work effectively with a maximum rope diameter of 1/4 inch when paired with a corresponding #1 pressed spur grommet. This hardware is ideal for Jib hank replacement or new installations. For installation, the spur grommet must be securely affixed just behind the luff rope/wire. The long arm of the snap requires gradual shaping into position; it is strongly recommended to use a leather mallet and multiple gentle blows to prevent potential breakage during this process. This specific Sail hardware for 1/4 inch rope ensures a secure attachment point.
