High load blocks for asymmetrics

Holt says it developed its dynamic bearing system for blocks in response to the loads typically found on today's asymmetric dinghies.

The company says it recognised that blocks needed to be light, strong, tough and capable of exceptional performance and its new 30mm dynamic block range follows the company's philosophy and complements its existing range of 20mm and 40mm dynamic blocks.

The 30mm range is ideal for mainsheet systems; kicker systems and sheet/halyard lead applications.

Using Holt's "ProStrap" head system, the block has a cold forged radiused head, which increases articulation and provides a rope friendly connection.

The sheave is 28.2mm diameter and 10mm wide and takes lines from 6 to 10mm.

The sheave is made from acetal resin and the cheeks are composite filled nylon with 316 stainless straps.

The retail price is £7.18 inc VAT for a single 30mm block.
