Cable Tension Meter

CTM

- A cable tension meter is used to measure the strain, which the wires or rigging is under.

In order to maintain the rigging and the overall well being of the boat it's important to monitor this tension. The amount of strain the rig is under dictates the performance of the vessel.

Stress

Too much stress over time will lead to the hull shape changing, which causes a chain of problems. However too little tension results in abrasive problems, as wires rub against each other.

Or worse the mast will fall down!

Digital

Having the right tool for the job really helps you in the long term. Fortunately, there are now digital cable tension meters that give you an edge.

No More Conversion Charts!

Not only can you be free from conversion charts, but you can get a more accurate measurement from the pre calculated, hand held device.

Scenario

Imagine your at sea it's been a calm day, but the wind is building. You can now adjust your rig easily whilst being on the water!

That's going to help out with your long term rigging bill! By increasing the strain on the rig you are flattening the shape of the sails. Which will help boat speed too.

Of course rig adjustment on the water takes confidence. But sailing is all about confidence anyway - So you already know that.
