C. Sherman Johnson 14-205 Hyfield Quick-Release Shroud Lever 1/4" Pin 3-Hole

The C. Sherman Johnson 14-205 is a Hyfield-type quick-release shroud lever engineered for high-demand sailing applications. Developed and refined through extensive real-world testing on high-performance multihulls and monohulls, this lever delivers the rugged reliability and ease of operation that sailors depend on in critical moments.

The 14-205 features a 1/4" pin extender arm with a 3-hole configuration, providing a lever take-up of 2-1/8" to a secure over-center position. An included quick-release pin provides positive locking, while a built-in positive stop prevents fingers from being pinched between the fitting and wire when the lever is thrown open under load. The oversized push pad surface area makes closing the lever under tension significantly easier.
