The Nautos Stand Up Classic is a ball bearing block with a 28 mm sheave, sold under the maker code SU92410. It is mounted on a stainless steel base. A spring under-deck plate is part of that base, so the fitting is built to be secured from beneath the deck. Check the maker's load rating and line size before choosing line to run through it.
Our take
Ball bearings in a 28 mm sheave make this a compact block, and the stainless steel base with its spring under-deck plate gives it a solid metal footing at the deck.
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.
