Whitecap Industries Rubber Spreader Boot, Small, White, Pair, S-9202P
The Whitecap Industries Rubber Spreader Boot (S-9202P) is a small-size, white spreader boot sold as a pair for sailboat rigging. Spreader boots slip over the outboard tip of a spreader arm to cushion contact with the sail, helping prevent chafe and tears where the sail brushes against the spreader end during trimming and tacking. Made of durable rubberized material, the boot is designed to hold its shape and stay seated on the spreader tip through repeated sail contact and outdoor exposure. Each boot measures 5 inches by 5 inches, and the pair is finished in white to blend in with common rigging and mast hardware. Maintenance is simple: wipe the boots down with a dry cloth to keep them clean. This is a straightforward, functional rigging accessory intended for sailors who want to protect their sails and reduce wear at the spreader tips.
