- high end SK 99 Dyneema lines: very very low stretch, and 495 kg lines. The lines are stretched by the factory and after in our workshop
- highly secure AKA 3 quick releaser: very easy to reload, very compact, very wide center hole (the safety line slides very easily)
- perfect colors for teaching: red and blue
- very comfortable grip
- the low V setup makes it easy to untwist the lines
- the back steering lines can be easily disconnected
Improvements over the 2023 bar:
A stopper ball below the Clamcleat will protect the Clamcleat in case the bar hits the Clamcleat very strongly.
New Splitter
This new alloy part is super strong. We performed load tests of 700 kg successfully.
Main benefits: - easy and clean setup for the power lines - improves the safety when you trigger the quick release
The power line with the thin loop is connected to the safety line. Because it is a thin loop, there is tons of space inside the AKA 3. The safety line can slide both ways inside the AKA 3 very very easily.
A clean setup means less trouble in the water and less chances to get ropes entangled.
Splitter versus classic pulley block and stopper ball:
Classic solution (until 2022) : very durable and reliable solution The "classic" pulley we have been using until 2022 contains a ball bearing. This makes the trim really pleasant to use, as the rope can slide very well. The power line connected to the safety line is coated. Will slide well inside the AKA 3, but the thiner loop will slide even better.
