The Ronstan Series 40 Orbit Single Rotating Snatch Block with Becket & Lashing Option is a game-changer in the world of sailing and rigging. As part of the renowned Orbit Block series, this product is designed to provide the perfect balance of strength, performance, and reliability. With class-leading dynamic and static load ratings, this snatch block is capable of withstanding the toughest conditions on the water.

One of the key features of the Series 40 Orbit Block is its lightweight yet strong design. The toughened glass fiber reinforced nylon cheeks replace traditional stainless steel straps, providing a durable and reliable solution for sailors. The range of options available in this series is unparalleled, with single and double sheave lashing or soft attachment options, as well as multiple sheave blocks with quad and quin sheaves. This versatility allows sailors to create a multitude of systems, up to a 12:1 purchase mainsheet system for off-the-beach performance catamarans.

The ergonomic design of the Series 40 Orbit Block makes it easy to use and trim, with a low-friction 2-stage ball bearing system that minimizes effort and maximizes efficiency. The carbon-reinforced C-Cleat provides secure rope holding with low entry and exit efforts, while the fairleads allow for fast action from any angle. The cleat arms are made from stainless steel and are adjustable, allowing sailors to set their preferred cleating angle.

The high-performance capabilities of the Series 40 Orbit Block are further enhanced by its high-load design. With a high-strength grade 2205 stainless steel sheave and hub, this snatch block is designed to withstand even the most demanding applications. The triple bearing race ensures low friction at very high loads, making it ideal for applications such as mainsheet systems and spinnaker sheets on dinghies, off-the-beach catamarans, and sportsboats up to 8m (26ft).

The versatility of the Series 40 Orbit Block is unmatched, with applications ranging from halyard, vang, and backstay systems on boats up to 9m (30ft), to control line applications on larger yachts. With a sheave diameter of 1-9/16 inches and a maximum rope diameter of 3/8 inches, this snatch block is designed to handle a wide range of ropes and applications. The Maximum Working Load (MWL) of 880 pounds and Breaking Load (BL) of 1760 pounds make it a reliable and trustworthy solution for sailors of all levels.
