Nautos 92662 combines a single ratchet block with a cam and a double swivel block, with 57 mm sheaves, that carries a becket. The ratchet block has an aluminum sheave at 75 mm. The double block pairs two 57 mm sheaves with a becket and a swivel, so the pair can be rigged as a purchase with the line led through both.
Our take
The ratchet block's 75 mm aluminum sheave is teamed with a double 57 mm block that has a becket and a swivel. The becket gives the line's fixed end somewhere to be made off, and the swivel lets the block turn to meet the lead.
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.
