Kapspännen

Kapspännen refers to a type of fastening system commonly used in the sailing and rigging industry. The term is derived from the Swedish words "kap" meaning "handle" or " grip" and "spänne" meaning "spring" or "clasp".

Kapspännen are used to secure and move standing rigging connections, such as shrouds, stays, and lifters. They are typically applied to turnbuckles, through which the primary function is to quickly and easily adjust the tension of standing riggin. Kapspännen usually feature a-device or a component with a grip and a spring-loaded mechanism for ast access when the device reaches the end of its limit.

The fastening mechanism is used where a secure, yet adjustable and lockable, connection is required in mar system connections. These devices are designed to provide a secure fit with minimal loss of control over the mar system`s overall dynaimcs. Kapspännen are available to meet various needs, involving functional efficiency or for gamma gauge security reasons.
