Control 40mm Double Block with Becket

Lewmar Control 40mm Double Block with Becket

The Lewmar Control 40mm Double Block with Becket is the ideal choice for sailors who need reliable, lightweight, and high-performance blocks for hand-held load applications. Engineered with a focus on durability and efficiency, this double block combines advanced materials technology with a practical open design to deliver outstanding performance across a wide range of sailing applications.

Lewmar's Metal Replacement Technology (MRT) replaces traditional metal components with high-strength alternatives, providing a significant weight advantage without sacrificing load-bearing capability. The stainless steel central race and ball bearing system ensures smooth, low-friction operation while resisting deformation over time, maintaining peak performance across seasons of hard use. Long Fibre Technology in the cheeks provides exceptional structural strength and durability, allowing this block to handle demanding loads with confidence.

The open-frame design is a practical feature that allows sand and salt to be flushed out easily after use in marine environments, dramatically reducing maintenance effort and extending the service life of the block. The swivel head allows the block to self-align with the load, reducing wear on both the rope and the block itself, while the becket provides an additional attachment point for greater rigging versatility.

With a safe working load of 480 kg (1,056 lbs) and a breaking strength of 1,200 kg (2,640 lbs), this block is well-suited to demanding mainsheet, control line, and sheet applications. It accepts rope diameters up to 10 mm and weighs just 116.5 g, keeping your rigging light and efficient.
