Identify these rope clutches please?

[frderek]

I have 7 of these on my Westerly Merlin 28 (1985):


and I'd like to add an eighth.

Can anyone identify the maker? Suggest where I might source them?

Not sure but think they could be Barton, I recognise them but suspect they are superceded now.

They look like old style Ronstan ones. These are jammers not clutches.

Fine whilst they work but they will wear out and allow lines to slip, if you want extra ones now, it is a good time to upgrade and have a matching set.

OK Point taken. I guess I need four doubles (two each side). 28' Westerly Merlin. Any recommendations that won't break the bank? Are the Spinlock SUA mini-jammers up to the job? Any recommendations?

consider the loads, are these for reef lines? we had XAS spinlocks Ithink on our Sun Legende but that had a very powerful rig with high loads on the halyards and control lines
