Over-the-top blocks lead lines aft over cabin houses, coamings, and splashguards. They feature high-load sheaves and come in single, double, and triple configurations.
The high-load flip-flop blocks pivot around the line axis to keep line close to the deck. Hinged construction allows variable leads. Lockoff provides a temporary stop to free up winches.

Teadrop Blocks
Teardrop blocks are ideal for use as mastbase leads and for other aplications where limited articulation or direct attachment is desired. When attached to an appropriate padeye. Teardrop blocks will not hit the deck when line are slack, yet allow sufficient movement to ensure fair leadswhen jumping halyards. They are often used on permanent backstays of fractionally rigged boats where the backstay can be spliced directly to the head of the head of the block.
The 3042 and 3046 are low-load blocks designed for use on production boats that have mounting posts on the mastcollar.

Stainless Steel Blocks
Hand-polished stainless steel sipeplates are the trade-mark of these beautiful blocks. But it's the sheave design that gives them their strength and durability. Sheaves use a low-friction composite sleeve bearing for extreme radical loads. Ball bearings handle side loads. This proven sheave design is used in superyatchs where blocks most perform under very high, sustained loads without being excessive in size.
Block details include low-profile screw adapters and stainless-on-stainless constructions for easy service. Sheaves on footblocks remove without unbolting the block. Headposts on swivel blocks lock or swivel freely.

Stainless Steel ESP Blocks
Add dazzle to your boat with elegant stainless steel blocks. Sideplates are polished to a high luster to reflect your boat's beauty, whether it's classic wood, or a modern cruiser. ESP sheaves feature axle bearings to handle high, static loads and sideload balls so sheaves spin freely when loads are released. They are perfect for halyards or limited purchase systems on cruising boats. ESP blocks are easy to install. Footblocks and deck organizers can be double stacked.
Teardrop blocks keep lines close to the deck and are usedfor mast collars with integral swivel posts. Perforated mast collars, or mastbase situations where the lead may change, require swivel blocks. Footblocks are available with lockoffs to temporarily secure sheets. A single block works for either port or starboard applications by flipping it over.
Use ESP swivel and fiddle blocks in winch-driven purchases of 4:1 or less. Perfect for vangs or mainsheet systems on cruising boats from 35 ft to 45 ft (10 to14m).
