The Nautos HT92314 is a single block with a fixed head and a 39mm sheave. The maker lists acetal resin and high load aluminium for the body, with 316 stainless cheeks and axle. It takes line up to 10mm. The listed safe working load is 135 kg and the break load is 820 kg, and the whole block weighs 22 g.
Our take
The 135 kg working load against an 820 kg break load shows the margin the maker builds in, and it comes at only 22 g with 316 stainless cheeks. Keep your line within the 10mm maximum before fitting it.
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.
