| | | CRUISING LINE Probably the most technologically advanced boat block available! Offering an incredible strength to weight ratio our Cruising block has taken the yachting world by storm. Manufactured from the most technologically advanced composite materials and produced with a partnership of traditional skills and advanced engineering, we offer a block ideally suited for cruising. The key to its success is that both the sheave and cheeks are produced from a highly technology advance composite material that has such a great strength that no stainless steel reinforcement is needed, consequently, dramatically reducing the overall weight. | | |
| | | Another revolutionary feature of the Cruising blocks is their actual construction. There are no ball bearings to deform when subjected to static loads, or to get clogged up with dirt and salt. Instead the blocks consist of a solid, stainless axle and an extremely durable bearing of low-friction composite cast into the sheave itself. The Cruising block is incredibly versatile. Although it is primarily designed for cruising and performance cruising, it is equally at home in areas from dinghies to racing yachts and both inshore and offshore cruising. At Rutgerson we demand total reliability from all our products. So, the Cruising block has been designed so that no maintenance is required and it still comes with a 3-year warranty. | | |
