This triple block is used in purchase and trimming applications where you want high mechanical advantage and precise control of the line lead. It is relevant for sailors working with mainsheet purchase systems, fine trim, or other loaded systems where three sheaves make for lighter hauling and more balanced line lead. The block fits naturally on both cruising and racing rigs. The triple block is built with three composite sheaves and composite cheeks, giving low weight and good strength. It uses a spherical plain bearing that ensures smooth rotation and low friction, even when the line is heavily loaded. The design is developed for stable operation in a marine environment. Some models have a rotating head, allowing the block to follow lines in changing pull directions. The triple block is used in systems such as mainsheet, barber hauler, purchases, kicker/vang, or fine trim, where several sheaves are needed to achieve the desired load distribution. It can be combined with single blocks, double blocks, or fiddle blocks in larger systems. It works with standard rope sizes and fits most rig setups without the need for modifications. Its compact design makes it possible to combine several functions in one block, reducing the need for many separate fittings. The low weight and robust construction make it suitable for both smaller and mid-sized boats. Models with rotation offer better maneuverability during trimming, while the strong composite construction ensures a long service life.

Shackle pin Ø: 6 mm

INSTRUCTIONS Preparation: Choose a mounting point and make sure the block has free movement and the correct direction of pull.

Installation: 1 Secure the triple block with a shackle or suitable fitting. 2 Lead the line through the three sheaves according to the desired purchase ratio. 3 Tension lightly and check that all sheaves rotate freely.

After use: Rinse the block in fresh water and check the bearing for free running. Remove salt and dirt as needed.
