ANCHOR SWIVEL SHACKLES The use of a swivel and joining shackles to join your anchor and rode will greatly improve anchor retrieval and help ensure that the rode lays neatly into your anchor locker. Thus, they are highly recommended for use with Maxwell's automatic rope/chain series windlasses. Two sizes (6mm - 8mm/1/4" - 5/16" and 10mm - 12mm/3/8" - 7/16") are available to suit vessels up to 20 metres (65'). These robust single swivel anchor connectors, with captured pins, will not loosen under load and pull smoothly and easily over bow rollers.

Series 45 Core Block™ - Single - Swivel Shackle Head Core Blocks™ are a true all round solution. A tuned 2-stage bearing system provides excellent performance across the full working load range with an integrated thrust bearing feature and the resilience to handle high dynamic or static loads. Acetal sheave, alloy cheeks and stainless fixings complete the durable package. For reliability and a long service life, these blocks are the right choice for sheets, halyards and control line applications for cruising and racing. Universal Bearing Dynamic and high static load performance The Ronstan Universal Bearing incorporates our proven 2-stage bearing system Stage 1 - Under moderate loads, Acetal ball bearings ensure minimum friction. Stage 2 - Under heavy loads, where deformation of ball bearings alone would result in increased friction, a sliding Acetal bearing on a polished stainless steel race takes over, maintaining low friction performance. Additionally the ball bearings are configured to act as a thrust bearing between the sheave and cheeks, preventing the sheave from rubbing on the cheeks and causing friction when the line lead in and out of the block isn't perfect. Particularly important for cheek blocks. Alloy Cheek Plates Block cheeks are manufactured from the highest quality alloy for maximum strength. Material optimisation and the cut-away design minimises weight and allows easy fresh water rinsing of salt and debris from the bearings. Cheek design has been further styled with flaring at the block throat and reduced gap between the cheek and sheave, minimising rope wear. Features: High dynamic and static load capacity Efficient 2-stage bearing system Ball bearings to counteract side thrust loads Class leading performance and sleek, contemporary styling Durable aluminium alloy cheek plates Central hub hole can be used as a becket take-off or tie-up point Applications: Ideal for mainsheet, halyard and spinnaker sheet applications on boats to 10M (33') Various control line applications on larger yachts Alloy sheave models are available for use with wire Materials: Sheave: U.V. stabilized Acetal Cheek body: Aluminium Alloy Ball Bearings: High compression strength carbon black Acetal Shackle, head post & hub: Grade 316 stainless steel Specifications: Sheave Ø: 45mm(1-3/4") Max.

Series 40 Ratchet Orbit Block™ - Single - Auto - Swivel Shackle Head Automatic Ratchet With automatic models, the ratchet mechanism engages when load is applied, but switches off when it's released. This lets the sheet run out smoothly and freely-great for rapid easing of the sheet and for gybing asymmetric spinnakers. Awesome Ratchet Block Holding Power Quite simply, Ronstan Ratchet Orbit Blocks™ have the highest holding power available. The sophisticated NC-machined sheave features Generation 2 of our sheave cross-hole geometry. The Series 40 delivers up to 14:1 holding power, almost double that of our nearest competititor. The unique sheave design has 8 gripping faces which directly resist loaded line movement. Traditional designs have an angled resistance to line movement. Our Generation 2 design has straight resistance faces which both distribute the load and minimise rope wear. These faces are offset from the radial line, to draw the rope down into the gripping area when under load. Simple and Secure Attachment The Dyneema® Link is easily fitted and is retained securely by a moulded retainer clip. The flexible link can be left with one end attached to the block when fitting - no more lost shackle pins. The system is compatible with Dyneema®/Spectra® strops, webbing and carbon connection points - much more so than steel loop tops or shackles. Smooth Easing of Sheets With auto models the sheet runs out smoothly and freely as soon as the ratchet mechanism disengages. Low Profile Stand-Up Kit Allows 0™ or 90™ Alignment Stand-up kits feature a clatter-free rubber boot. You can attach the Dyneema® link so that the block is aligned with the stand-up base or across it. It's a neat low-profile solution which allows full articulation.
