HYDRAULIC TENSIONER

The patented model was tested for approximately two years in a wide range of wind and sea conditions in the Mediterranean. The system consists of a 12/24 V hydraulic control unit, modular valves/high-pressure electronic safety pipes with radio antenna, mirror-polished AISI 316 stainless steel hydraulic piston, watertight control panel and remote control. The latter allows the backstay to be adjusted from anywhere on the deck, optimising the tension on the mast and increasing sailing performance.
The forestay is adjusted by pressing the button on the remote control from the bow or the mast base. The hydraulic control unit is modular and can be used for additional applications. If the boat is already equipped with a hydraulic control unit, a dedicated kit can be provided. Traction forces from 500 to 4000 kg can be achieved.
