Features:

High Performance Control Under Load

The Lewmar Racing Block with Fiddle & Becket is engineered for demanding sailing applications where high loads, precise trimming, and dependable performance are critical. Developed for performance cruising and competitive racing yachts, it delivers confident, efficient load management in compact control systems designed to operate at the limits.

Fiddle Configuration for Increased Purchase

The fiddle block arrangement provides enhanced mechanical advantage within a space-efficient footprint, allowing heavy loads to be handled with reduced effort. This configuration is ideally suited to fine-tune systems and control cascades where progressive adjustment and accurate load control are essential to sail performance. An integrated becket provides a secure termination point for control lines, enabling clean, compact system layouts while maintaining consistent load transfer and efficient routing.

Race-Grade Construction

Manufactured using premium, marine-grade materials and precision engineering, the Racing Block with Fiddle & Becket is built to withstand the sustained loads and cyclical forces encountered in competitive sailing. Robust side plates, accurately profiled sheaves, and controlled tolerances ensure structural integrity, resistance to wear, and long-term dimensional stability in high-stress environments.

Smooth, Low-Friction Performance

Designed to minimise friction under load, the block delivers smooth, predictable rope movement during trimming and easing. Efficient load distribution across the fiddle configuration reduces energy loss and handling effort while helping protect running rigging from unnecessary wear during intensive use.
