Carbo Ratchet Block - 40mm
Carbo Ratchets allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing.
Nylon-resin side plates are densely packed with long-glass fibers for a compact block with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Machined aluminum sheaves are Hard Lube-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.
The 40mm ratchets are ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The 2608 and 2609 have on/off switches.
For the ultimate system, mount a switchable ratchet in the cockpit and a boom-mounted Ratchamatic(R) directly above to allow double holding power in heavy air and to ensure a free-running mainsheet in light air.
