Hall Spars and Rigging

Hall AutoLocks

Hall now has a full family of locks for jibs, masthead spinnakers, removable inner forestays, mainsail cars, and boom reef lines. All without trip lines and all suitable for use with full-size halyards on spinnakers and jibs. The Hall AutoLock engages when hoisted against an up-stop (even under tension) and then eased. To unlock, the halyard is again hoisted against the up-stop and eased. The new Hall AutoLocks eliminate the clutter, the trip lines, and the trip line exit holes required by other lock systems.

Jib/Spinnaker AutoLocks

Available in external or internal versions (same price). Both versions are pinned to a special bracket. The external jib lock is mounted to a bracket semi-permanently attached to the headstay. The internal locks are mounted to a bracket easily installed in the mast wall.

Hanging AutoLocks

The Hanging AutoLock attaches to the mast. It can be lashed to the masthead crane, hollow sheave pins, or to a pad eye added to the mast.

Masthead Spinnaker AutoLocks

These locks are installed either below the halyard sheave inside the mast or just ahead of the sheave where the halyard exits the mast. The mechanism is housed in a self-contained bracket, easily removable for servicing. The lock uses a halyard bullet similar in size to those on conventional locks that have a trip line.

Inner Forestay AutoLocks

On an increasing basis, large yachts are putting their inner forestays on locks for removal when not in use. Hall’s auto lock is ideally suited for this application allowing automatic locking and unlocking without a trip line.

Boom Reef AutoLocks

The Hall AutoLock system can also be installed in remote areas of the boom to lock reef lines, eliminating the need for string-actuated locks.

Mainsail Track Auto Locks

Hall's Mainsail AutoLock is a headboard car and track combination. The headboard car locks in the same hoist/ease manner as the jib locks, only the car engages with the track. The system can be adapted to most mainsail tracks by simply replacing portions of the track with the locking track. The system also allows locking at reef points with additional inserts. (The loads for Hall locks are consistent with track manufacturer recommendations.)
