45mm Automatic Ratchet Block
These blocks are designed with lightweight ø5 mm Delrin ball bearings and are available either with a composite sheave or an aluminium sheave. More grip and the ability to cope with relative thin lines. The sheave automatically changes from free-turning to ratchet when the load increases - the sailor decides when the automatic ratchet kicks in. The switch-over point is set using an allen key to adjust a screw inside the sheave -fast, simple, precise.
