57mm Carbo AirBlocks 57mm Sheave Diameter Block, Triple/Swivel Style, 1,584lb. SWL

From the folks who invented ball bearing blocks, this line of blocks boasts an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The plastic in their sideplates, sheaves and balls makes them 30% lighter, 60% stronger and generally less expensive than equivalent conventional blocks. The tiny 29mm block is extremely strong. 29mm doubles and triples feature a U-lock to hold the swivel in the front or side position, or allow it to spin freely. Use the 29mm Carbos as mainsheet blocks on dinghies, or for low-friction applications on any size boat. Use the 40mm blocks for jib and mainsheet systems on high-performance dinghies, and for high-load control lines on small keelboats. The 40mm blocks handle loads similar to Harken s 2.25″ blocks. The 57mm blocks have an enormous working range that makes them ideal for main and jib sheets, spinnaker halyards and control lines. This range handles loads similar to Harken s 3″ standard blocks. The 75mm Carbo Blocks are the only all-plastic blocks with a safe working load over 1,200lb. Because of their large-diameter sheaves and fitted ball races, they release easily under load and keep weight to a minimum. Perfect for mainsheet systems on racing boats and cruisers looking for better performance at a reasonable price. The 75mm single block weighs in at a remarkable 6.9oz. including the shackle, and the double and triple blocks aren t much more, giving an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. Harken’s most innovative blocks: Recipient of both the Dame Award and Sail Magazine’s Freeman-Pittman Award for innovation 30% lighter, 60% stronger than equivalent conventional blocks Larger blocks have an enormous working range Smaller blocks are excellent for jib and mainsheet systems on high-performance dinghies and high-load control lines on small keelboats Sheave: Long-glass reinforced engineered nylon Ball Bearings: Engineered plastic in fitted ball races Sheave Size: 1-1/8″ (29mm); 1-9/16″ (40mm); 2-1/4″ (57mm); 2-15/16″ (75mm) Line Diameter: 5/16″ (29mm); 3/8″ (40mm); 7/16″ (57mm); 9/16″ (75mm) Cheek Material/Finish: Long-glass reinforced engineered nylon Shackle Strap Type: Stainless swivel shackle
