Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Rutgerson Snatch Block (RSB), the first openable block by Rutgerson, designed and manufactured in Marstrand, Sweden. It is available for delivery starting January 1, 2021.

Product Features
The RSB is a versatile snatch block suitable for various applications on boats and sails, such as barber haulers and genoa lines. It is easy to install and remove even when the line is under load. The block features a Rutgerson Low Friction Ring and a strong Dyneema loop, making it ideal for both low load high speed and high load low speed applications.

Design and Performance
The RSB is the lightest block offered by Rutgerson, boasting a high strength-to-weight ratio and an extremely high working load relative to its size. The design ensures no loose parts, and the block can be opened without losing the low friction ring. The ring is anodized with a unique hard-coat and Teflon-impregnated finish for low friction. The Dyneema loop features a proprietary diamond knot that provides nearly double the strength compared to standard knots.

Product Data Sheet November 2020 Rutgerson Snatch Block We are proud to introduce our first openable block ever: Rutgerson Snatch Block (RSB). This snatch block is very flexible and can be used on almost any block application on a boat or sail such as barber, hauler, genoa line. It’s easy to remove and install on a line already under load. The block is designed with a Rutgerson Low Friction Ring and a strong Dyneema loop which is perfect for low load high speed or high load low speed applications. The RSB is our lightest block yet with an incredible strength/weight ratio as well as an extremely high working load compared to dimension. It is also designed so that there are no loose parts. The block can be opened without risking to lose the low friction ring. The low friction ring is anodised with a unique hard-coat and Teflon-impregnated anodization with very low friction properties. The Dyneema loop has a diamond knot, which we have developed ourselves, that generates almost twice the strength to the loop shackle compared to a standard diamond knot shackle with the same line dimension.
