Ratchet Blocks

Ratchet blocks are hand and crew savers. The eight-sided sheave grips loaded sheets with up to 15: 1 holding power yet allows a line to be eased instantly with control. They allow the crew to hand hold main, jib and spinnaker sheets with only a fraction of the effort that a regular block requires. An on/off switch allows the ratchet to be turned off in light air to trim and ease lines more easily.

The 2608, 2609 and 2614 have on/off switches; other 40 mm ratchet blocks are always in ratchet mode.

57 mm (10:1 Holding Power), 75 mm (15:1 Holding Power)

All 57 and 75 mm ratchet blocks have on/off switches.

40 mm

Ratchet Direction

Arrow on side of block shows direction that sheave will spin when ratchet is switched on. Refer to arrow when reeving block or mounting cheek block.

2614 / 2137 / 2672 Cheek Block

Position block so ratchet turns in desired direction. Flip block to change direction. Use chart below or use block as a template. Mark holes using centerpunch. Check marks with block before drilling. Remove block and drill holes using drill size from chart below. Bevel top of deck holes using a small knife to allow sealant to mass. Place gasket under block. Through-bolt block using recommended stainless steel fasteners, washers and locknuts.
