Edson Leather Turnbuckle Covers - Medium

The Edson Leather Turnbuckle Covers in Medium size are essential protection for one of the most critical hardware points on any rigged vessel. These covers are designed for use on cruising sailboats and sport-fishing rigs, providing a safeguard against UV exposure, salt spray, and weather that can degrade both the hardware and surrounding rigging.

Engineered from genuine leather, these covers not only shield your turnbuckles but also help prevent chafe damage to sails and lines during regular operation and maintenance. The Medium size covers have dimensions of 6 x 2 x 10 inches, accommodating typical upper shroud and lower cap shroud hardware. The leather wraps securely around each turnbuckle barrel, distributing pressure evenly and reducing the risk of sharp edges causing damage.

These covers are particularly valuable for cruising sailors who spend extended time under sail, as they help maintain the integrity of both standing rigging and working sails. Unlike synthetic alternatives, quality leather ages into a protective patina while remaining flexible and functional, making these covers a wise investment for serious boaters.
