Ronstan Series 25 High Load Ball Bearing Orbit Block with Becket and Lashing Head - RF28109HL

Series 25 Ball Bearing Orbit Blocks: Delivering superior strength, reduced weight, and exceptional performance for high-demand dinghy and small boat applications.

Designed with competitive sailors and performance boats in mind, these compact 25 mm (31/32") blocks are engineered to achieve the highest possible strength-to-weight ratio. Featuring Ronstan's renowned high compression strength acetal bearing system, the Series 25 BB Orbit Blocks are a ligjtweight yet durable solution, ideal for control line systems such as mainsheet and spinnaker sheet turning blocks, cunninghams, and cascading vangs on dinghies up to 4 m (13').

Each block has a stainless steel hub for versatile lashing attachments and through-sheave becket functionality, making them adaptable to a wide range of rigging setups. The hub accommodates up to 4 mm (5/32") lashing and ensures maximum efficiency without compromising reliability.

This High Load (HHL) variant is equipped with a Grade 2205 stainless steel sheave and bearing race, paired with Grade 304 stainless steel ball bearings. These HHL blocks are purpose-built for high-load applications and are increasingly in demand for modern performance and foiling boats using small-diameter lines to carry significant loads.
