DESCRIPTION
Carbo ratchet blocks allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing.
Nylon resin sideplates are densely packed with long-glass fibers for a compact block with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Machined aluminum sheaves are hardcoat anodized for strength and corrosion resistance. Eight facets hold line securely. Ball bearings, sheave, and sideplates are UV-stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.
40 mm:The 40 mm ratchets are ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The 2608, 2609, and 2614 have on/off switches; other 40 mm ratchets are always in ratchet mode.
57 mm & 75 mm:The 57 mm and 75 mm switchable ratchets provide precise on/off control with accessible, easy-to-operate on/off switches on both sides of the block.
For the ultimate system, mount a switchable ratchet in the cockpit and a boom-mounted Ratchamatic block directly above for double holding power in heavy air and a free-running mainsheet when itÕs light. The 75 mm provides up to 15:1 holding power; the 57 mm 10:1.
- Perfect for hand holding loaded lines with controlled release
- The 57mm ratchet provides sailors with up to 10:1 additional holding power
- The 75mm provides a 15:1 advantage
- Accessible and easy-to-operate on/off switches (found in the center airhole) on both sides of the block
- Machined Hardkote-anodized aluminum sheaves have eight facets to hold line securely
