Simple and efficient, the K. Block is outstanding for numerous applications. Attached by a basic lashing and combined with a simple design the K. Block is unequaled in weight (very sailboat light) to working load (very high) ratios.
Assembled with balls or rollers in peek, K. Marine blocks guarantee exceedingly low friction.
Advantages of attaching through the blocks center with a lashing
Safety: Lashing through the blocks center significantly increases safety in the event the block fails. The line running through the block remains captive by the lashing not allowing it to completely break free.
Light Weight: These exceptionally light blocks combined with the lashing method of attachment reduces by approximately 50% as compared to conventional blocks with similar working loads.
Attachment: Lashing through the center of the block offers unlimited applications and mounting possibilities (double lashing, becket…), the block can be tied up easily.
Reduced Noise: Lashing blocks greatly reduces noise created by mechanical attachments such as marine shackles and pins.
