Wichard Opening Pre Feeder 7485

This prefeeder is a brilliant idea, beautifully executed in forged stainless steel by Wichard. 

Before re-hoisting the bowman doesn’t need to remove the headsail from the luff grove, he just has to open the prefeeder and close it around the luff tape. No need to remove the headsail from the foil anymore! 

To open simply push the spring with your thumb, the jaws will open automatically. To close, squeeze the jaws together between thumb and fingers, until the spring re-engages, all done with only one hand. 

The prefeeder can be easily installed below any headsail foil or headsail furling configuration. In the closed position, it ensures a smooth and easy sail hoist.
