Holt Clew Strap

The Holt Clew Strap is a replacement tie-down strap designed for the clew of sails on Laser and ILCA dinghies. The strap keeps the sail’s clew firmly against the boom while still allowing the sail to slide freely along the boom track.

For Irish sailors, this is a useful spare item for club boats, training fleets or leisure craft, especially given the frequent launching, rough conditions and rig changes encountered around the coast. Its simple design and easy installation make it a smart maintenance item to carry onboard.

Features

• Securely holds the clew of the sail against the boom while allowing smooth movement
• Velcro fastening combined with webbing strap design enables quick fitting and removal
• Compatible with Laser / ILCA dinghy booms, making it a direct replacement for standard clew strap hardware
• Ideal for club sailing or training use where cost-effective spares are needed and class-legal status is not required
• Low-maintenance and lightweight spare - easy to carry onboard or keep in the sail bag
• Enhances sail control, helps avoid flapping or rouge movement of the sail clew under load, especially useful in Irish variable wind conditions
