Part designed to be placed on  top-shroud above the spreaders. It will spin freely and prevent the sail from touching the spreaders. Desinged for 6mm shrouds, but you can scale it as you like, also adjust screws to bigger size. 

  • Print from PETG with 90%-100% infill and 3 layers.
  • Do not use ABS – it fails after a month due to UV exposure. I haven’t tested ASA, but PETG has lasted about 4 years so far.
  • Assembly: You need two stainless steel screws to mount it and must print two copies to assemble a single guard.
  • Printing: Print with supports in the original orientation.
