The Nautos HT 2036 is a single footblock described as a stainless steel ball bearing block. It is compact, with a 30 mm sheave and a body length of 50 mm. The maker lists a working load of 149.69 kg and a breaking load of 408.23 kg. The whole block weighs 27.22 g.

Our take

The stainless ball bearing in a 30 mm sheave and a 27.22 g weight make this a compact footblock. Its 149.69 kg working load against a 408.23 kg break load is the figure to check against the loads on your line.

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.
