This turtle block with a horizontal plate is used to guide lines safely along the mast or other curved surfaces. It is especially relevant for boat owners who want a fixed and stable turning point, where the line is kept close to the surface. The block ensures a controlled line lead when working with halyards, trim lines, or control lines. The block is built with a plain bearing, which provides smooth rotation and low friction. The sides and sheave are made of composite, giving low weight and good durability. The stainless steel plate is curved horizontally so it naturally fits the shape of the mast or other lightly curved surfaces. This provides a stable installation and reduces play and unnecessary movement. The turtle block is used as a fixed block in the rig, for example at the mast base or in places where a standard block cannot be mounted correctly due to the shape of the surface. It can be used in systems where the line needs to be turned or led close along the structure. It fits common rope diameters and is used in both cruising and racing setups. The block's curved plate makes it especially suitable for mast mounting, where you want to avoid spacers or unstable solutions. It can also be used on flatter areas, depending on the boat's layout. The construction requires minimal maintenance and is suitable for both small and medium-sized boats. The working load depends on the model and covers common line-handling needs.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Preparation: Clean the mounting surface of dirt and salt.

Installation: 1 Position the block so the plate follows the curve of the surface. 2 Mark and pre-drill if necessary. 3 Secure the block with stainless steel screws.

After use: Rinse the block after sailing and check that the sheave turns freely.
