This #1 jib hank is designed to secure a jib to the wire forestay. Gradually bend the long arm of the snap into place with a leather mallet and use the sliding piston to positively lock the hook end over the stay.

A #1 pressed spur grommet is required for installation. Install the grommet just behind the luff rope/wire in the sail. The long arm of the snap is bent into place. This should be done gradually to prevent breakage--a leather mallet and many blows works well.

Opening length of hank is 0.375". This will work with a 1/4" max. rope diameter, when used with a #1 spur grommet.
