Seldén Manual Ratchet Blocks
Introducing
Renowned for its extensive dinghy deck hardware range, designed by sailors for sailors, Seldén now supplies many of the leading dinghy manufacturers with kits for a complete deck fit out.
With a strong focus on supplying reliable high-performance deck hardware, Seldén’s has introduced the next generation of its manual ratchet block.
Overview
Many sailors are now opting for tie-on blocks, with a view to reducing weight and increasing breaking load. Soft attachment blocks also offer greater articulation than a conventional shackle or strap block can.
Seldén’s new soft attachment block range provides these benefits in a modern, light weight, and durable block.
Specific attention has been given in the design to create the most compact block possible, minimising play in the sheave. A ball bearing cage within the sheave spreads the loads more evenly, maximising performance and improving longevity of the block.
Seldén’s single soft attachment block range offers three sheave sizes, two sheave versions (acetal or aluminium) and a choice between stainless steel (SS) and Torlon® ball bearings. The double soft attachment block currently comes with acetal sheaves only. Sailors can also choose from a complete assembly, including a pre-spliced loop, or just the block itself ready for lashing.
Performance Data
R60 (composite sheave) – SWL of 250kg and a max. line size of 10mm.
R60+ (aluminium sheave) – SWL of 250kg and a max. line size of 10mm.
Used By
Ideally used for dynamic applications, such as sheets, on both dinghies and keelboats.
