Construction: Because every boat is as different as the people who sail them, and every sailor has a different idea of what hardware best meets his needs, Garhauer offers sailboat blocks in 3 different types:

Garhauer Stainless Steel Stand Up Blocks

Designed for the true offshore sailor looking for the ultimate in rugged dependability, these blocks are constructed of 100% polished stainless steel cheeks and load straps making them an excelllent choice for installation at the masthead or other hard to service areas. These blocks improve the appearance of any boat.

Garhauer Grey Anodized Aluminum Stand Up Blocks

Unique to the Garhauer line of sailboat stan-up blocks, these block combines Type 3 grey anodized aluminum cheeks with oversized 100% polished stainless steel load plates. This construction adds a handsome appearance to your boat and offers superior durability due the extra load plate reinforcement.

Garhaeur Lite Stand Up Blocks

It is what is missing, that makes them stronger...We have taken out the centers of our new line of sailboat blocks. The result? A better block that is both stronger and lighter at the same time. By removing the center pin, our engineers have decreased the weight and increased strength by allowing the cheeks to support the sheaves along the outer edges, distributing the total load more evenly across a larger surface. All models are available in your choice of 316 alloy polished stainless steel or T-6 anodized aluminum.
