I had closed body turnbuckles on my Catalina 22. They all had jam nuts on both ends to lock the the toggles from turning.. If they don't lock, they will loosen up. This I have seen. I prefer open body turnbuckles, they don't hold in water, can inspect easier, etc. Closed body turnbuckles can and will corrode inside the turnbuckle body, or the "barrel" as some call it, and they will loosen up if not secured to keep from turning.This is from my personal experience, hope this helps.

Does anyone else have turn barrels on their standing rigging
and if so do they have jam nuts?
