Harken 57mm Aluminum Low-Load Block — Swivel
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, enabling smooth operation even under demanding conditions.
Shackle blocks lock in two directions or swivel to keep line from twisting, providing versatility in rigging configurations. Low-load blocks have red isolators and use Torlon® rollers with 316 stainless steel shackles for corrosion resistance. Standard blocks feature 17-4 PH stainless steel headposts for structural durability.
