Black Magic Air blocks are a top favorite of Big Boat performance racers and cruisers. These lightweight, free-running, powerful performers are used for sail controls that see lots of action: mainsheet, runner, halyard, and spinnaker systems. A center cage keeps Torlon® roller bearings separated and parallel to reduce friction. The sheave center carries primary load, allowing a smaller, lighter weight block. The soft-attachment Loop block has a removable deadend post for attachment to a padeye. Lashings can also be used. Torlon is a registered trademark of Solvay Advanced Polymers L.L.C.
Runners are used on running backstays of offshore boats to adjust mast bend for different wind conditions. Integrated sideplate bails and recessed cotter key help produce a smooth design that won’t snag lifelines. Sideplates and sheaves Hard Lube-anodized for maximum UV protection and a smooth surface.
