This triple block with cam cleat and becket is used in purchase and trimming applications where you want high mechanical advantage and the ability to lock the line quickly. It is relevant for sailors working with systems where three sheaves provide easier pulling and greater control over adjustments. The cam cleat provides a direct locking function, while the becket serves as a fixed attachment point in the purchase. The block has three composite sheaves that rotate on a spherical plain bearing. This provides smooth operation, low friction, and stable movement, even when working under load. The sides and sheaves are made of composite for low weight and high strength. The cam cleat ensures a firm hold on the line, while the becket serves as a fixed end point in the system. The construction is optimized to handle frequent line adjustments during active sailing. The triple block is typically used in mainsheet purchases, cunningham systems, trim control, or other applications where three sheaves provide significant purchase. It can be combined with other blocks such as single, double, or fiddle blocks in larger systems. It fits common rope sizes and can be used on both cruising and racing boats. The block is practical when you want to combine both purchase and locking function in one compact unit. It is well suited for boats with limited space around trimming stations and in situations where quick line adjustments are part of sailing. The rotating design (models with swivel) provides flexibility and follows the movement of the line during maneuvers.

Shackle pin Ø: 5 mm

USER GUIDE Preparation: Check the mounting point and ensure the block can move freely.

Installation: 1 Mount the triple block via shackle or fitting. 2 Lead the line through the three sheaves according to the purchase system. 3 Use the becket as a fixed end point if the system requires it. 4 Test the cam cleat grip and adjust the line so the locking mechanism works correctly.

After use: Rinse the block and cam cleat in fresh water and check the sheaves for free running.
