This double block is used in trim and control systems where you want stable line lead and the ability to create purchase with two sheaves. It is relevant for sailors working with mainsheets, halyards, vang systems, or other functions where two parallel sheaves provide better control and lower friction. The block is suitable for cruising and racing boats that need a light and reliable block for everyday sailing. The double block is built with composite cheeks and composite sheaves, which provide low weight and good resistance to saltwater. It runs on a spherical plain bearing, ensuring smooth rotation and stable operation under load. The construction without metal reinforcement reduces weight and increases durability, as the composite material is strong and does not corrode. The block can be used in both horizontal and vertical rig setups. It is often used in mainsheet purchases, halyard systems, kicker/vang, barber haulers, and other trim functions. It works with common rope diameters and can be combined with single, fiddle, or becket blocks in larger systems. Multiple mounting options make it flexible in both small and medium-sized rig setups. The double block is well suited wherever you want a compact and stable trim setup. Its low weight makes handling easier and makes it especially suitable for boats where you want to minimize the rig’s total weight without compromising functionality. It is robust, requires minimal maintenance, and maintains its performance even with frequent use in harsh weather.

Shackle pin Ø: 6 mm

INSTRUCTIONS Preparation: Choose a mounting point and check the line lead.

Mounting: 1 Secure the double block with a shackle or suitable fitting. 2 Lead the lines through the sheaves in the correct order according to the purchase. 3 Lightly tension the system and check that the sheaves rotate freely.

After use: Rinse the block with fresh water and check the sheaves and bearing for free running.
