Tendon Joint Raceboard UNI Essentials U-Pin Unifiber UF060011009

Description:

The Tendon Joint Raceboard UNI Essentials (U‑Pin) is a low‑profile, high‑performance connection system designed for raceboard rigs, including Exocet RS 380 boards and most other raceboard brands. Its core is a high‑quality TPU tendon held by two large‑diameter custom bolts for simple, reliable retention and easy tendon replacement without bolt overturning. The U‑Pin is machined from a single solid piece of stainless steel for long‑lasting durability while the whole assembly remains lightweight — approximately 50 g lighter than comparable products. A high‑grade nylon pad provides smooth movement over the mast track and reduces friction during sail trim. For safety, the top and bottom sections are secured with a Spectra safety rope rated to a 650 kg break load. The low sitting profile creates a more direct connection between rig and board, helping sailors "close the gap" for improved control and efficient power transfer during racing.

• Low‑profile tendon design for a direct, responsive connection between rig and board

Recommended Use:

Ideal for competitive and advanced recreational raceboard sailors who demand a direct, low‑profile rig connection and lightweight hardware. Best suited to raceboard sailing and foil/race rig applications (including Exocet RS 380), where smooth mast‑track travel and secure tendon retention improve handling and trim. Performs well in a variety of sailing conditions typical to raceboarding — flat to choppy water and strong planing conditions. Pair with standard raceboard rigs and inspect tendon and bolts regularly; replacement tendons are simple to install when required.
