From simple off the beach dinghies to massive foiling multihulls, today’s yachts and the systems for rigging and controlling them are more varied than ever. 

This diversity creates unique demands on the hardware which are nowhere more apparent than in the category of blocks. Ball and roller bearings can still provide the lowest levels of friction, but in many applications and environments, strength-to-weight ratio, durability and simplicity are the key requirements.

These applications have seen the evolution of apparently simple products, whose outward appearance belies the exacting engineering and advances in materials technology that they are based on, and which still deliver excellent free running performance. Custom made low friction rings and solid fairleads have filtered down from Grand Prix racing to the realm of recreational sailor.

The SHeaveless blOCK

Available in two colour options - blue and red with several attachment options, including webbing, pigtail, lashing and dyneema links, it will be the obvious choice for those kitesurfers, paragliders, control line deflections and purchase systems that require a lightweight high load capacity block.

Shocks can also be used for lazy jacks, barberhaulers, tweakers, cunninghams, guy lines, tie downs, and much more.
