By hooking into the trapeze ring and leaning out over the water, the sailor effectively extends their body away from the boat, creating a counterbalance to the force of the wind in the sails. This trapeze ring is lightweight and features a plain bearing block to create a 2:1 purchase system for trapeze height adjustment. It's also designed with a narrower loop than our other trapeze loop option, to give a more low-profile finish.Ideal for sailors who are looking for a more budget-friendly yet extremely reliable trapeze ring.
