Holdons

Holdons are tough clips in two sizes which grip almost any cloth to provide a fixing for a line. They can be used instead of eyelets for lee cloths, tarpulins, awnings, and temporary repairs to ripped clews, tacks etc. A benefit of using Holdons is that the lee cloths and awnings etc. can be folded completely flat without bulky eyes and the Holdons can be repositioned to achieve the best stretch. Even if your tarpulin has eyelets you may find a few Holdons useful to pull tight those catch-rain areas and to stop areas between the eyelets flapping against your brightwork. Keep some handy on board too.
