Spinlock Rig-Sense | NEW rig tension gauge for repeatable rig
settings
As every sailor knows, rig set up is key to performance on the
race course and being able to repeat favorite rig settings for differing
conditions throughout the season is even more important. Until now sailors had
to rely on basic tools which often left them frustrated with inconsistency
for critical rig measurements.
Spinlock Rig-Sense is a new rig tuning tool
developed for consistent and repeatable measurement of loads on wire
and fibre. Compact, durable, lightweight and easy to handle, Rig-Sense uses a
composite leaf spring that is calibrated to output repeatable tensile load
readings to a direct linear scale in Kgs, rather than having to check and
calculate loads on a complicated set of tables. With Rig-Sense you can
quickly and reliably take your readings to compare and adjust if needed against
base settings, before heading out on the water.
Designed for 2-5mm wire and fibre cable Rig-Sense accurately
displays rig loads on a clear, simple and durable etched display, ensuring
teams can tune their rig with confidence. Due to its innovative design and use
of materials such as stainless steel for the contact points and composite leaf
spring, Rig-Sense
can be taken from boat to boat and loaned to others, confident in being able to
share repeatable rig settings.
Spinlock CEO Chris Hill comments ‘Rig-Sense’ joins our growing Sense Range of data
measuring tools. Sailors are becoming much more interested in measuring
and capturing data to aid their performance, learning from time on
the water to help improve long term performance. Rig-Sense offers a big
improvement to the measurement of rig tension, making it simpler and
easier for the sailor, and now coupled with the Rig-Sense App comes the ability to share
and export data for later analysis with your team or sharing knowledge
within a class’.
The free Rig-Sense App,
available for both iOS and Android, allows users to work efficiently with their
gauge, storing and managing the data on smart phones and tablets. Using
the Rig-Sense app
you can record data of critical settings to ensure repeatable race
settings over differing conditions. Create your own custom templates to compile
data for a range of boats or classes, add images and share and export data
for later analysis with your class. |
