This robust #2 Jib Hank is engineered specifically for securing a jib to a wire forestay, offering unparalleled durability and resistance to harsh marine conditions. Unlike traditional brass or lesser alloys, this unit is constructed from premium Marine Grade 316L Stainless Steel Hook, ensuring exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term strength on the water. The superior material choice provides reliable, heavy-duty performance even in high-stress, saltwater environments.

Designed for easy yet secure operation, the Jib Hank utilizes a sliding piston mechanism to positively lock the hook end over the stay, functioning as a reliable quick-release snap hook for sailboat rigging. Installation requires a #2 pressed spur grommet, which should be set just behind the luff rope/wire in the sail. The long arm of the snap is designed to bend into place; this process must be done gradually, using a leather mallet to prevent breakage. The finished opening length of the hank measures 0.671 inches.

This high-quality stainless steel jib hank works efficiently with a maximum rope diameter of 5/16-inch when properly installed with the specified #2 spur grommet. This precision component is indispensable for anyone performing sail repairs or building new sails that require positive attachment to the forestay. Upgrade your sailing hardware with a component built to last, ensuring minimal maintenance and providing trustworthy security when you need it most. Choose dependable marine hardware that withstands the rigors of serious sailing.
