Single Person Dinghy / Finn / Blocks / snatch blocks
A snatch block is a variation of pulley that has been designed to allow quick attaching and releasing of lines. Our range comes with a simple hinge mechanism that allows the side cheek to open a bit like an oyster shell.
Available with or without the locking mechanism to suit different applications. The locking mechanism can be operated with one hand.
Generally, snatch blocks are utilised in barber haulier or spinnaker sheet systems on a boat, where you may want to quickly attach or release the block.
Also widely used in non-marine sectors such as theatre production, tree surgery and cargo transportation.
Dynamic Bearings – Twin rows of stainless steel balls running on a stainless steel rail.
