This standalone composite cheek block from Rutgerson is developed for anyone who needs to lead lines safely and efficiently on deck. It is typically used in rigging and deck equipment, where a stable and lightweight solution is important. The design gives you a reliable attachment point when working with loaded lines or when you want better control in your trimming. The cheek block is built with reinforced composite side plates, which provide high strength relative to weight. The spherical bearing ensures smooth running under load, so the block operates evenly, even with changing pull direction. It is designed to withstand marine conditions and maintain its stability over time. The cheek block can be stacked, and the upper block works with half the safe working load compared with the lower one.

You use the cheek block to lead lines that run horizontally along the deck - typically halyards, sheets, or trim lines. It can be combined with other cheek blocks in a stackable system if you need multiple attachment points in the same area. The design makes it compatible with common mounting points on modern sailing yachts and catamarans. A composite cheek block is a good choice when you want to reduce weight in the rig without losing strength. It is a great option for both cruising and racing, where you want durability and easy handling. The stack function provides flexibility if you later want to expand your trim setup.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Preparation: Find the mounting point on the deck and make sure the surface is flat and firm.

Installation: Position the cheek block in line with the line to be led. Secure the block with suitable bolts through the existing mounting holes. If stacking several blocks, install the highest load-bearing block at the bottom.

Use: Lead the line through the block and check that the bearing runs freely. Keep an eye on load and angles, especially if the block is part of a stacked system.

After use: Rinse the area with fresh water after sailing in saltwater. Check regularly for wear or loose bolts.
