This block, specifically designed for modern high-performance foiling, skiff and multihull classes, suits any applications where high loads are experienced.
Typical applications include high load vang purchase systems on Moth and Lasers, halyards on skiffs; cunninghams, outhauls and backstay purchase systems just to name a few.
Such a high load rating is unique for a block of this size, its impressive strength-to-weight ratio is a result of clever design and the selection of the right materials, such as glass fibre reinforced nylon cheeks, a high-grade stainless-steel sheave, ball race and balls.
