Product Overview

The Barton DO 550 clutch is crafted from high-grade plastics and marine-grade 'Spectro' anodized aluminum, ensuring strength, lightness, and impact resistance.

Operating the clutch is effortless, even in cold and wet conditions, providing a dependable solution for yacht management.

This allows for easy customization with colored inserts, enabling quick identification of the clutch's function, such as main, genoa, or spinnaker.
