This all-purpose block is a great all-around solution. A self-lubricating Acetal polymer sheave ensures low friction and is extremely durable. This block is the right choice for sheets, halyards, and control line applications for cruising and racing. The Captive Lock™ universal head can be fixed in either of two planes, or free to swivel as required. Its becket pin is removable so the line can be spliced prior to fitting and locked into position without the use of a clevis pin, split ring, or tools.
