SOTA guy winder + tensioner for guying your mast

A summits on the air guy winder + tensioner for guying your mast.

Are you tired of you guys or cord used for guying a mast getting tangled with each other ?

 This is designed to provide an adjustable guy with a winder to wind the cord when stowing or between summits.

Two versions:

• One with an “open jaw”. You can use this to cleat the guy when winding
• “closed jaw”  you need to coil and hitch the end of the guy when winding onto the winder.

Makes deployment of a mast so much quicker and no mess of a tangle of cords to sort out on the next summit.

Works perfectly with sotabeams “Hi Viz Antenna Cord”. Also tested with 2mm paracord.  I like to use lightweight cord and print with low infill (25%) to keep everything as light as possible.

Freecad files if you want to adjust, potentially for thinker cord.

I felt that a thiner guy winder would be adequate, so i reduced a version to 2.8mm thick!
