The Nautos 91626 is a blue plastic block with a 40 mm (1.57 in) sheave, made as the return block on the mainsheet of a Laser. It has no ball bearing. It takes line up to 10 mm (0.39 in) in diameter and carries a working load of 190 lb (86.18 kg). Check those sheave, line and load figures against your mainsheet rig before swapping it in.
Our take
With a 40 mm sheave, no ball bearing and a 190 lb working load, this is a light duty return block for a Laser mainsheet. The 10 mm maximum line sets the rope you can reeve through 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.
