The flexible Dyneema® rope link is a product of the latest trends in grand prix ocean racing and provides a more flexible, lighter weight and lower profile solution than traditional shackles. It can be set at a 0 or 90 degree orientation, provides stress-free articulation without allowing the block to over-rotate, and is locked in place with a security clip that doesn't require tools to fit. The Dyneema® link is also more compatible with carbon, Dyneema and webbing connection points than steel loop tops or shackles.Series 55 BB Ball Bearing Orbit Blocks are suitable for sheet applications on dinghies, sportboats and small one-design keel boats and for control lines on larger boats.
