STREAMLINING WINDAGE

With no spreader tip connections, frontal area and bulk is eliminated and the junction drag at the tip is minimized. The added benefit is that the spreader tip size can be kept to an absolute minimum.

The aerodynamic gains are significant.

EC6+ has a rigging drag reduction in the order of 12% over other rigging products.

The PBO ends and turnbuckles are a significant source of drag.
