You’re sailing along with 15-20 knot winds, a little sporty and life is good

This story can start and end in many different scenarios….none of which are good
What is Halyard Wrap?
The Real Problem
Simply summarized…halyard wrap is the result of a flawed designed concept
Using a rotational device (aka “swivel”) situated on a metal wire, then surround by a resistance of force by a rope is … absurd

BUT we did improve on an old idea
The Halyard rotates with the Sail!
