THE SHEAVELESS BLOCK
Available in four colour options - blue, green, grey and red
with several attachment options, including webbing, pigtail, lashing and
Dyneema® links, it will be the obvious choice for those kitesurfers,
paragliders, control line deflections and purchase systems that require a
lightweight high load capacity block.
ULTIMATE DURABILITY
With no moving parts Shocks™ provide ultimate durability and
are maintenance free. They are ideal where sand and grit would compromise a
bearing system or where regular flushing out isn’t possible. Their gentle
3-dimensional geometry is kind on lines.
NB: We know that Shocks™ are easily worn/damaged from salt
and grit embedded in wet rope, and that nothing in this world is maintenance
free. We always recommend fresh water rinsing of all hardware products.
SOFT ATTACHMENT SPECIALISTS
Shocks™ are designed primarily for ‘soft attachment’;
spliced to a line end or lashed in place. The elongated attachment aperture is
also ideal for webbing attachment, ensuring the intended orientation is
maintained.
VIRTUALLY LIMITLESS APPLICATIONS
The applications for Shocks™ are virtually limitless,
including numerous high performance dinghy and small sailboat rigging
applications including tweakers, vangs, trapezes, cunninghams, barber haulers
and kite bridles. They are also handy on larger boats for uses such as lazy
jacks, sail covers, tie-downs, ladder and motor hoists.
HIDDEN PERFORMANCE
At a mere 2.5g (0.1 oz), Shocks™ are outstanding performers
in the strength and weight stakes. The clever design and exacting finishing
also provide excellent free running at moderate changes of angle. Shocks™
accept lines from 1.4mm (1/16”) up to 8mm (5/16”) and function with hi-tech
uncovered braids as with traditional double braids. They are available in
colour choices to help keep complicated rigging configurations more organised. SPECIFICATIONS:
