Product description
Automatic ratchet block
In the auto mode of the ratchet mechanism engages when load is applied, but switches off when it's released. This lets the sheet run out smoothly and freely-great for rapid easing of the sheet and for gybing asymmetric spinnakers. In manual mode, the ratchet mechanism can be switched on or off as required. This is the preferred mainsheet set-up for may top sailors.
Awesome ratchet block holding power
The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of Ronstan's patented sheave cross-hole geometry. Its holding power is up to 21:1. The unique sheave design has 12 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designes have only 8 faces with an angled resistance to line movement. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under load.
