Solo Dinghy Strap Strut for towing
Make towing your Solo dinghy safer with our new 'Strap Strut'.
This one is specifically for Solo dinghies but please note we are already working on ILCA /Laser and RS Aero versions. Need one for a different class...? Please contact us!
After towing various dinghies and keelboats around the country for many years, we are used to the issues (and dangers!) and have tried various ways of solving them... so, we have designed our Strap Strut to cure the problems!
Please note the photos show a special order blue version. For the eagle eyed, we realise it is shown layin on an ILCA / Laser dinghy in the photos!
It offers several benefits when towing:
1. It is a little wider than the boat, so when you tighten down your ratchet strap, it's not trying to 'fold up' your dinghy and put stress on the all important hull / deck join etc.
2. Because it's wider than the boat, it will not try and slip to a narrower point of the hull which causes the strap to become loose or even undone, which is obviously dangerous for you, other road users and of course the boat.
3. It is holding the boat downwards and with the specifically shaped foam it spreads the load far more evenly across the deck, eliminating stress points and damaging / softening your deck unnecessarily.
4. It's main component is carbon fibre (of course!) so it's very lightweight and very strong!
5. It's very quick and easy to use.
6. It comes with quick release pins so that the strap should not flap or jump out of the ends of the strut.
7. We supply it with a strong ratchet strap.
We are already getting inquiries for other dinghies so if you need one for a different class, please contact us and let us know!
Make towing your dinghy a lot safer for you, other road users and of course your dinghy and remove many of the risks with our new Strap Strut!
