Series 40 Ratchet Orbit Block™ - Single - Auto - Swivel Shackle HeadAutomatic RatchetWith automatic models, 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.Awesome Ratchet Block Holding PowerQuite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks™ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our sheave cross-hole geometry. The Series 40 delivers up to 14:1 holding power, almost double that of our nearest competititor.The unique sheave design has 8 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have an angled resistance to line movement. Our Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimise rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under load.Simple and Secure AttachmentThe Dyneema® Link is easily fitted and is retained securely by a moulded retainer clip. The flexible link can be left with one end attached to the block when fitting - no more lost shackle pins.The system is compatible with Dyneema®/Spectra® strops, webbing and carbon connection points - much more so than steel loop tops or shackles.Smooth Easing of SheetsWith auto models the sheet runs out smoothly and freely as soon as the ratchet mechanism disengages. Low Profile Stand-Up Kit Allows 0™ or 90™ AlignmentStand-up kits feature a clatter-free rubber boot. You can attach the Dyneema® link so that the block is aligned with the stand-up base or across it. It's a neat low-profile solution which allows full articulation.Features: Up to 14:1 holding power - highest available!

Gyb'Easy Boom BrakeGybe safely with Gyb'Easy, the Wichard boom brake. Why a boom brake? Gybing remains one of the most challenging operations on a sailing boat even for experienced sailors and can possibly generate injuries and material damage. Gyb'Easy is an efficient and safe solution to reduce such risks.Concept: Thanks to the frictions of the specific line called Gyb'Flex passing over the boom brake, the boom is allowed to gybe smoothly and without jerks. The more the line passes over the openings, the more the friction is increased and hence the brake efficiency.Settings of the Gyb'Easy: The adjustment is made thanks to the tension of the line. 3 different positions exist for a better adaptation of the mainsail and wind conditions.Easy installation: It takes a few minutes to install it on an eye strap of the boom. Two different fittings can be implemented to fit with all the deck configurations.Technical Data: Can be used on mainsail areas below 40 sqm Gyb'Flex line supplied (part#: 7148): Length: 16 m / Diameter: 11 mm Weight (g/lbs): 600g/1.323lbs Materials: Anodized Aluminum Applications:Gybing operations
