The RWO range of deck bushes are manufactured in marine grade aluminium with a hard coat anodised finish and are available in four sizes. With their well flared opening both top and bottom these are designed to ensure friction is kept to a complete minimum when the line passes through the deck or bulkhead.

Friction is only increased by 15% compared to a plain bearing block. Up to 250% stronger, constructed from HE30 marine grade aluminium and anodised to 40 microns. Up to a 90% reduction in weight.

The XHL is a new 20mm block with CNC machined, anodised aluminium cheeks, with a precision turned stainless steel sheave in a variety of great colours.

They were designed for exceptional performance in classes such as the International Moth where extreme loads can crush the bearing surfaces of traditional blocks; this is taken up by a new extreme high load bearing system.

Tested by Team Allen sailors, the XHL is the ultimate block designed for the most testing race conditions experienced by today's competitors at the leading edge of technology. With a weight of just 17g, a static load just under one tonne and a dynamic working load of 300kg, the XHL block is pushing the boundaries of small block performance.

Features:

• Sheave Diameter: 20mm
• Line Diameter: 2.5-6mm
• Length: 17mm
• Max Dynamic Load: 300kg
• Break Load: 900kg

Available in Blue, Black, Gold, Silver, Orange or Purple

Years of constant development, with the world's top sailors, has led Allen to the release their new generation X2 AutoRatchets. The new “X2” pawl system incorporates two pawls to ensures that the load is evenly shared, this means that the block will withstand higher working loads, increasing both the reliability and longevity. It also features the patented swivel head lock system which can be fixed in position, allowing for more setup options. Allen Switchable Ratchet Blocks can easily be switched on or off, even under load for total flexibility. The patented swivel head lock system can be fixed in position, allowing for more setup options. The sheave design gives high grip under load while allowing easy release when required.

The WAVE ratchet offers 20 to 40%* more grip without adding any additional wear to the rope.

The most effective way to increase friction is to add sharp edges to the ratchet sheave, but this quickly deteriorates and wears away the rope. So, after working alongside leading rope manufacturers the Allen design team came up with a simple solution which improves grip without chewing away at your expensive rope.

The Wave Ratchet sheave has an offset V style grip, made from a hard-wearing recycled plastic nylon, which does not have sharp edges that will eat into the rope. Instead, by adjusting the V formation in the sheave to be slightly offset, the ratchet now grips the rope at additional points around the sheave, resulting in more grip. However, the Wave Ratchet not only improves grip but as a result of the design it also allows for a less ‘jumpy’ feel when easing the sheets.

*Depends on the type of rope in use with the sheave.
