Barton extends DO550 clutch range

01 May 2009

Following the launch of its single line DO550 clutch last year, Barton Marine has extended the DO550 range with the introduction of its new double and triple line clutches, which are now in full production for the 2009 season.

The two additions complete Barton’s new range of clutches for cruising and racing yachts and mean sailing enthusiasts can now take advantage of the varying line capacity clutches from the Barton DO 550 range.

Each is designed to offer a holding power of up to 550kg and control halyards up to 12mm and is easy to use. All three clutches utilise a ‘true clutch’ mechanism which enables lines to be easily and accurately adjusted with maximum grip and minimal slippage when in locked position.

The clutches have been produced using high grade plastic components coupled with marine grade aluminium cams and bases, resulting in lightweight products that provide exceptional strength and are extremely durable.

An additional unique feature of the products is the interchangeable insert on the clutch handle, which enables lines to be labelled for ease of identification on deck. Available as optional extras, the inserts include useful labels such as ‘Genoa’, ‘Main’ and ‘Spin Halyard’.
