Babystay Adjusters

Babystay is essential when a boat is fitted with a roller furling system. The Wichard pelican adjusters are simple, strong and safe. They are designed to allow quick and easy attachment of the babystay. The small size is available with a wheel or a folding handle which operates like a ratchet. This version has a long stud which allows the stay, when detached from the unit to fit against the mast. Larger sizes have an integrated ratchet system.

Inner Forestay Systems

These systems are designed for easy set up and removal of an inner forestay to rig a storm sail or a stays'1 quickly when the weather suddenly turns bad.  Just select an adjuster for quick tensioning the stay, pick a folding padeye for deck connection and our stowage clip to hold the stay out of the way when not in use.
