seaEQ RR 1400 Reef Ties – Webbing Straps with Tapered End, 140 cm, Orange, Pack of 4

seaEQ RR 1400 – Reef Tie with Tapered End and Twisted Sewn Loop

The seaEQ RR 1400 Reef Tie is a 140 cm long and approximately 25 mm wide sail tie made from flexible polypropylene webbing. It has been developed specifically for securing sail reefs and features two distinctive design details: a tapered webbing end and a large, twisted sewn loop.

The tapered end makes it easier to thread the webbing through narrow reefing eyelets and cringles. The special loop construction then makes it easier to pass the free end of the webbing through the loop.

This makes the RR 1400 particularly suitable for handling during reefing. It can also be used as a conventional sail tie and for bundling ropes, lines and suitable equipment on board.

Pack contents: 4 seaEQ RR 1400 Reef Ties in orange.

Reef Tie for Reefing Eyelets and Cringles

When securing a reef, the reef tie is passed through the designated reefing eyelets or cringles in the sail.

For this reason, the free end of the seaEQ RR 1400 features a tapered design. This makes it easier to thread through narrow openings, even though the main webbing is approximately 25 mm wide.

This design detail distinguishes the seaEQ RR Reef Ties from the seaEQ SR Sail Ties. While both product ranges feature a twisted sewn loop, the RR series has been specifically developed for reefing applications with its additional tapered end.

Large, Twisted Sewn Loop

The seaEQ RR 1400 features the characteristic large, twisted sewn loop found on seaEQ sail ties.

Because of the twist, the two layers of webbing within the loop do not lie completely flat against each other. This helps the loop remain more open, making it easier to pass the free end of the webbing through.

The combination of the tapered end and twisted loop makes two consecutive handling steps easier:

• Threading through the sail: The tapered end helps guide the webbing through narrow reefing eyelets and cringles.
• Passing through the loop: The twisted sewn loop remains more open, making it easier to pass the free end of the webbing through afterwards.

The loop is secured with heavy-duty polyester thread using a box-and-cross stitch pattern.

Also Suitable as a Sail Tie and for Bundling Equipment

In addition to its primary function as a reef tie, the seaEQ RR 1400 can also be used as a sail tie.

The flexible, approximately 25 mm wide webbing is suitable for tying and securing sailcloth. Its width distributes contact over a larger surface area than a thin rope.

Ropes, lines and other suitable equipment on board can also be bundled or held together using the RR 1400.

The reef tie is reusable and designed for repeated use on board.

Flexible Polypropylene Webbing for Marine Applications

The seaEQ RR 1400 is made from flexible polypropylene (PP) webbing with a width of approximately 25 mm.

Polypropylene absorbs very little water, making it well suited to marine applications.

The flexible textile construction provides a broad contact surface against the sailcloth. As with any reef tie or sail tie, the specific sail construction and correct method of use must always be taken into account.
