This allows the ball to articulate separately from the handle. This articulation makes guiding the ball into the Keyball socket as easy as possible as well as allowing easy release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hole at the bottom of the handle is designed to take an elastic bungee, to guide the handle back to the boat when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top hole is nicely chamfered so the trapeze height adjustment line can run easily with no friction. Alternatively, you can attach a block to this hole for further friction reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach handle is load-tested for safety purposes before leaving the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Keyball System:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years the Allen development team were keen to design a trapeze system that improves the safety of the sport and reduces the risk of entrapment by the traditional hook-on trapeze harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner Julian Bethwaite had also been thinking along the same lines and had produced a prototype of the Keyball trapeze system. In conjunction with Bethwaite Design, Allen has developed the concept into a sleek and innovative design, eliminating the hook and creating a safe intuitive solution that works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Allen Keyball system removes the traditional hook from the trapeze harness and replaces it with a moulded plastic socket. The Keyball socket has no sharp edges or protruding parts meaning there is a reduced risk of entrapment for the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy wearing a Keyball harness you will also limit the chances of damaging the equipment on the boat, users are less likely to rip the sail or pierce the deck\/hull of a boat because of the lack of pointy edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 2x-large;\"\u003eTechnical Description\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Line Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e160mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e141g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Allen Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53606411960692,"sku":"ALNA4043","price":122.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/A4043P__11572.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761823946","url":"https:\/\/velasailingsupply.com\/products\/allen-brothers-keyball-trapeze-system-handle-pair","provider":"Vela Sailing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
