Ronstan RF56510 Sailing AccessoriesSeries 55 Ratchet Mount Orbit Block - Fiddle Becket SwivelFeatures: Up to 20:1 holding power Smooth easing of sheets High performance cleating Automatic ratchet blockNow you can enjoy the flexibility of setting up your ratchet blocks to suit yourself. Ronstan is the only company that offers a ratchet block with both auto and manual engagement modes*. In the auto mode of the ratchet mechanism engages when load is applied, but switches off when it's released. This lets the sheet run out smoothly and freely-great for rapid easing of the sheet and for gybing asymmetric spinnakers. In manual mode, the ratchet mechanism can be switched on or off as required. This is the preferred mainsheet set-up for may top sailors. Try the block in both modes and see which you prefer - you really can't go wrong.* Selected Series 55 models. Awesome ratchet block holding powerQuite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks™ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our patented sheave cross-hole geometry. Its holding power is up to 21:1, almost double that of our nearest competitor. The unique sheave design has 12 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have only 8 faces with an angled resistance to line movement. Our Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimize rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under loadMaterials: Sheave: Anodized Aluminium Ball Bearings: High compression strength carbon black Acetal Frame/Cheeks: Toughened, glass fiber reinforced Nylon Rope Link: UV stabilized, multi-strand impregnated SK75 Dyneema® Normalized SKU: RF56510UPC Code: 9316800480241

Ronstan RF55110 Sailing AccessoriesSeries 55 Ball Bearing Orbit Block™ - Single - Becket - Swivel HeadLightweightKilogram for kilogram of working load, BB and RT Orbit Blocks™ are the world's lightest. The unique orbital design allows the bearing to only be in the active areas of the floating sheave. This minimises the mass of the inactive return race and hub.Weight and bulk are further reduced in the different block configurations. The ball bearing single and becket block has a through-sheave becket arrangement. The result? The lowest weight possible.Multi-sheave blocks have only single intermediate cheeks and an ultra-light and efficient head arrangement. This gives a 30% weight saving advantage over the nearest competitor. Other brands just link together their single blocks. This results in unnecessary double cheeks between each sheave, held together by a heavy steel channel across the top of the block. Highest Working Load In Its ClassThe orbital ball-bearing arrangement gives the largest possible bearing race diameter. This maximises load performance. The proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system features high compression grade acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range. The floating sheave and bearing system is supported by a fiber-reinforced load frame. The design was computer modelled to be stress optimised. The Dyneema® Link is produced from FSE Robline SK75 fiber, which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, and provides the final connection from the block to the load point.Features: Ultra Lightweight Low friction 2-stage Orbital ball bearing system Highest working load in its class Low profile and compact High performance cleating Swivel shackle head for unlimited block rotation Stainless steel shackle head for ultimate durability and compatibility with harsh fixing points Ultra low profile integrated becket Applications: Mainsheet systems on dinghies, sportsboats and small keelboats to 9M(30') Spinnaker sheets on dinghies, sportsboats and small keel boats to 9M(30') Halyard, Vang and Backstay application on boats to 8M(26') Control line applications on larger yachts Ideal use for mainsheet systems and spinnaker sheets on dinghies, sportsboats and small keel boats to 9M(30') Also ideal with halyard, vang and backstay applications on boats to 8M(26') Spinnaker sheets on sportsboats and small keel boats (lateral lead blocks) Control line applications on larger yachts Materials: Ball bearings - High compression strength carbon black Acetal Stage 2 bearing - Carbon fiber reinforced, PTFE impregnated Nylon Frame/Cheeks - Toughened, glass fiber reinforced Nylon Rope Link: UV stabilized, multi-strand impregmented SK75 Dyneema® Sheave: Carbon fiber reinforced, PTFE impregnated Nylon Head fitting: Grade 316 stainless steel.
