High Load Blocks
Manufactured from marine grade aluminium and grey anodised for high UV stability and durability.
Sheaves are precision turned from solid ‘Ertalyte’ bar with a profile that is kind to modern ropes.
Running on a large diameter centre bearing for easy running under high loads.
Fitted with a stainless steel bow shackle to allow for snag-free operation.
Available in three sizes, these blocks are compatible with the toggle connections on our ball bearing mainsheet travellers.
Bolt-together construction not only adds to good looks, but allows for easy dismantling should servicing become necessary.
Foot Blocks
Featuring the same side plate and sheave construction as the high load blocks detailed above
Hollow stainless steel rivets allow for through-bolt fastening, giving added strength.
Through-bolt mounting also means that these blocks can easily be stacked to achieve double block capabilities. Note: stacking blocks will reduce working loads.
Fastenings of the minimum diameter suggested should be used to gain full load capability .
Ensure that suitable mounting pads are used under deck.
Foot Blocks With Cam

Foot blocks have a three bolt fixing and can be stacked to achieve doubles.

Important note:
Suggested boat sizes are given as a guidance only and assume a monohull with boom end sheeting, loaded vertically to the traveller.
Mid-boom sheeting, severely angled take offs and curved tracks can impose greater loads and suitable allowances should be made for this. If at all unsure of your choice it is important to seek further advice. If you are close to the maximum boat size suggested, we would advise upgrading to a Torlon package, long car or the next size up.
