Abstract (en)
A tightening cord 1 comprises an elastic cord 3 with a hook 5 at one end and a coupling element 7 at the other end. The hook 5 and the coupling element 7 are provided with coupling means for coupling them together. The coupling means are arranged such that the coupling element 7 can be detached from the hook 5 when moved in a direction 35 pointing away from the loop 33 and can be attached to the hook 5 when moved in a direction 37 pointing towards the loop 33. If the eyelet 29 pulls at the tightening cord 1, for example because the wind blows against the sail 39, the loop 33 pulls the coupling element 7 rigidly against the hook 5, so that the tightening cord coming loose is avoided. Since the coupling element 7 is directly connected to the hook 5 during use, the eyelet 29 of a sail 39 can be pulled closer to a tube 31 the sail is attached to.
