Carbo rachets 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 Hardkote anodized for strength and corrosion reistance. Eight facets hold line securely. Ball bearings, sheave and sideplates are UV stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.

The 57mm and 75mm 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 on a boom mounted Ratchamatic directly above for double holding power in heavy air and a free running mainsheet when it's light. The 75mm provides up to 15:1 holding power, the 57mm 10:1.
