LEWMAR 29925021BKClick To Copy 50mm Synchro Halyard Block

A unique block that is synchronized with running rigging systems. The 50mm halyard block features a toggle head to secure to mast base studs commonly on contemporary racer/cruiser sailboats. Ideal for halyard turning blocks, the medium sheave diameter works well with lines up to 3/8". Synchro blocks combine geometry, sheave ratios and a unique Free Spin bearing to deliver performance that s comparable to ball and roller bearing blocks used in racing but at a more affordable price. Designed to optimize the relationship between block and line, these blocks have self-aligning features to maximize efficiency and reduce wear to both line and block. An innovative sliding mechanism controls shackle post swivel. With the flick of a switch select between full 360 degree free rotation or one of two fixed settings (0 degree or 90 degree to sheave axle). Both fixed positions provide 30 degree of rotational float" to allow the block to self-align to the system. Synchro blocks use a larger sheave that features the Free Spin bearing. The bigger diameter sheave prevents distortion and reduces line wear while the Free-Spin bearing handles higher static loads. A stainless steel shackle post and framework supports the glass fiber reinforced cheeks to increase block strength while minimizing overall weight. The molded cheeks guide the line and prevent wedging. Designed to be synchronized with your boat s running rigging systems, Lewmar Synchro blocks are an ideal choice for the sailor looking to get more for less: racing features at a cruising price.
