Product Details
The ATN Tacker, Sail Control Attachment is a game-changer for cruisers and racers alike. This patented device allows you to fly a cruising (asymmetric) spinnaker over a furled headsail or convert a conventional (symmetric) spinnaker into an asymmetrical one, without the need for a spinnaker pole. It maintains the spinnaker tack close to the centerline of the boat, optimizing sail shape and minimizing chafe on the bow pulpit and lifelines.
Designed for ease and safety, the ATN Tacker is simple to use: attach your halyard, sheets, and downhaul, clip it around the furled headsail, and you're ready to hoist. The newly upgraded version features a fitted snap shackle, letting you quickly blow the tack when it’s time to douse the spinnaker behind the mainsail, ideal for broad reach sailing.
