The JibCap Protection for your Furling Jib's Webbing Loop / S.S. Ring Lashing from the Sun's U.V. Rays - JibCap Description -

What is the JibCap? The JibCap is a unique ‘jib head webbing loop’ or 'ring lashing' cover to protect the webbing from the sun’s ultra violet rays.
The webbing loop / ring lashing is a critical connection point between the jib sail and the furling swivel shackle or line.

Standard Colors Navy and Pacific Blue (Other colors available)

Why is the JibCap Important? The jib head webbing loop / ring lashing is one of the three connection points attaching the jib to the sailing rig. Protecting the webbing loop /ring lashing is critical. Failure of the head webbing loop / ring lashing can be catastrophic, resulting in sail damage, the potential of furling system damage, and a certain trip up the mast to retrieve the furling swivel and halyard.This connection is literally under continual stress from both halyard tension and wind loading when under sail. This total (halyard + wind) loading can easily approach 2,000 lbs. in a 20 knot breeze on a 500 s.f. jib sail.
What does the JibCap Protect? The JibCap protects the webbing loop / ring lashing from the sun’s u.v. rays when under sail and when furled in the most critical areas: the webbing loop, the stitching threads which attach the loop / ring to the sail.
The stitching threads are often damaged by u.v. rays below the thread surface, going undetected until failure of the webbing loop.

There are two sizes of JibCaps Size 1 - For Jibs with Luff Tapes that do NOT extend to the Loop or Ring Size 2 - For Jibs with Luff Tapes that extend to the Loop or Ring
