This Nautos 92618 is a single footblock for the port side, in the clockwise version, with a ratchet. It combines a conventional ball bearing design with an aluminum sheave. The sheave is 75 mm across and the body is 103 mm long. It takes line up to 25.4 mm, has a working load of 385.55 kg and a breaking load of 1360.78 kg, and weighs 226.80 g.
Our take
The ratchet on this 75 mm aluminum sheave footblock is its defining feature, and the 385.55 kg working load is the figure to respect, with 1360.78 kg only the breaking point. It takes line up to 25.4 mm.
From our buying guide
Ball-bearing blocks give the lowest friction on lines running under moderate loads. Plain bearings have more friction, but handle very high and static loads.
Check before you buy:
- A ratchet block is rated for the full sheet load.
- Any becket's load limit suits the job, since a becket can be rated below the block itself.
- A soft-attach block will be looked after, since Harken warns soft attachments are prone to wear and recommends them only for regularly maintained race boats.
