This single block is designed for mounting on a strop and is used for line lead in light trimming and control systems onboard. It is relevant for sailors who want a simple, lightweight block for basic functions where the line must run freely and responsively. The design makes it suitable for both cruising and light racing, where simplicity and low weight are an advantage. The block is built with a spherical plain bearing, providing smooth rotation under load. The sides and sheave are made of composite material, which reduces weight and resists wear in the marine environment. The construction without metal reinforcement makes the block light and maintenance-free while ensuring stable line lead. The line runs in a smooth sheave, and the block is optimized to provide low friction, even with frequent adjustments. The single block is mounted on a strop (sold separately) and can be used in a range of rigging and trimming functions such as halyards, control lines, small tackles, or general line lead along the mast or boom. It works with standard rope diameters and is suitable for both small and medium-sized sailboats. The rope range makes the block flexible for different types of lines and loads. Its low weight and compact size make the block easy to place in areas where space is limited, or where you want a minimal and discreet installation. It is suitable as a replacement block or as part of a new trimming setup. The durable composite material requires minimal maintenance and withstands frequent use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Preparation: Choose a suitable strop and mounting point.

Installation: 1 Thread the strop through the block head and secure it according to the boat's setup. 2 Run the line through the sheave and check that it sits correctly.

After use: Rinse the block with fresh water and check for wear on the sheave and bearing.
