20231027 Rope Clutch Guard Prototyping

I have had a couple of instances where the gib sheet(s), on my Hawk20, caught around the clutches for the main and gib halyards, which released them while I was sailing in confined waters. Since then I've been looking at ways this could be avoided.
Using Fusion360 design software, and my 3D printer I now think I have a reasonably simple and cheap solution.
The clutches in question are older EasyLock mini doubles, but I'd imagine the idea could be adapted to almost any clutch.

Excellent stuff… then you just need a catchy name for marketing it. I’ll get thinking. 🤔

It's now out in public so nobody can patent it.
