Insert Chariot Ballslide Series 8 Ronstan

INSERT CHARIOT BALLSLIDE SÉRIE 8 RONSTAN: OPTIMIZE YOUR MAINSAIL WITH A HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND DURABLE SYSTEM

The pair of Chariot Ballslide Série 8 Ronstan inserts is an innovative solution designed to improve the performance of your mainsail, especially for boats up to 18 meters. These inserts replace traditional slides and are an essential element for the proper functioning of your BALLSLIDE carriage system. It is crucial to check their condition regularly to prevent the carriage from coming out of the mast groove in case of wear.

BALLSLIDE: AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM FOR YOUR MAINSAIL

The BALLSLIDE system is designed for full batten or forced batten mainsails. These ball carriages replace traditional plastic slides without the extra weight of a rail. Each carriage is equipped with two plastic inserts that conform to the shape of the groove of your aluminum mast, as well as two raceways with Torlon balls. The captive balls allow the carriages to be removed from the mast without risk of loss. Thanks to the compactness of the carriages, you can choose to add a carriage only on the forced batten, where the friction is most important during hoisting.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT INSERT FOR YOUR MAST

To determine the insert kit suitable for your mast, you can check the model number on your current inserts. Otherwise, it is necessary to determine the geometry of your mast groove and the manufacturer of your mast. The Insert Chariot Ballslide Série 8 Ronstan is available in several models to suit the majority of masts available on the market.
