Whitecap Rubber Spreader Boot Pair - Sailboat Rigging Chafe Guard, Medium to Large

Protect your sails and running rigging from tears and chafe with the Whitecap Rubber Spreader Boot, a flexible rubber cover that slips over the metal tip of a sailboat spreader. Every time a headsail sheets across or a line brushes past an exposed spreader end, it risks snagging or wearing through fabric and cordage. This boot creates a smooth, cushioned barrier over that hard point, so sails glide past instead of catching or fraying. Molded from durable white rubber, it stretches on easily and grips the spreader tip securely, standing up to sun, salt spray, and repeated flexing season after season. Sold as a matched pair so you can outfit both ends of a spreader (or two spreaders) in one purchase, this boot is a simple, inexpensive upgrade that helps protect far more expensive sail and rigging investments.

Sizes & Options

This spreader boot is available in two sizes to fit different spreader tip diameters: Medium and Large. Measure the diameter and shape of your existing spreader tip (or the boot you are replacing) before ordering, since a boot that is too small will be difficult to stretch into place and one that is too large may work loose over time. If you are unsure which size matches your spreader, check your boat's rigging documentation or compare against the dimensions of your current boot before choosing.
