C. Sherman Johnson 1/4 in Quick Release Shroud Adjuster

The C. Sherman Johnson 1/4 in Quick Release Shroud Adjuster is designed for dry-sailed one-design dinghies that need fast repeatable shroud changes between rigging, tuning, or storage. Pulling the quick-release pin lets the adjuster move freely instead of requiring the sailor to dismantle the complete shroud connection. This makes it useful for boats that are rigged and unrigged frequently or that need quick changes to standing-rigging setup at the launch area. The compact fitting keeps the adjustment hardware concentrated at the shroud attachment point.

The pin-to-pin adjustment range extends from 1-3/4 in to 3-5/8 in. That travel allows the sailor to set the shroud length within the available range before reinstalling the release pin. The 1/4 in pin should match the mating chainplate or rigging fitting so the adjuster can articulate without excess play. Because the pin is removed for adjustment, it should always be fully reinstalled and secured before the rig is loaded.

• Quick-release pin allows fast shroud-length changes
• 1-3/4 in to 3-5/8 in pin-to-pin adjustment range
• Designed for frequently rigged dry-sailed dinghies
• Compact format keeps adjustment at the shroud attachment

Use the adjuster only where the available travel and attachment-pin geometry match the dinghy’s rigging plan. Inspect the release pin, holes, and surrounding fittings regularly because repeated setup cycles can concentrate wear in those areas.
