Built from race-grade, marine-quality materials, the block offers smooth, low-friction performance and long-term durability. Ideal for mainsheets and high-intensity control systems on racing yachts and performance cruisers where precision and confidence are essential.

Features:

Maximum Control for High-Intensity Sailing

The Lewmar Racing Block with Fiddle, Ratchet, Becket & Cleat is engineered to deliver uncompromising control, efficiency, and safety in high-performance sailing environments. Designed for racing yachts and performance-focused cruisers, it brings together multiple control functions in a single, compact solution, ideal for demanding trimming positions where precision and responsiveness are critical.

Fiddle Configuration with Integrated Becket

The fiddle block arrangement provides increased mechanical advantage within a compact footprint, enabling heavy loads to be managed with reduced effort. An integrated becket offers a secure termination point for control lines, supporting efficient cascade and fine-tune systems that require clean routing, compact geometry, and consistent load transfer under pressure.

Ratchet-Assisted Load Management

The built-in ratchet mechanism allows controlled easing and trimming under load, reducing the risk of sudden line run-off and improving handling confidence during manoeuvres. This assisted control lowers crew fatigue and enhanced safety, particularly in fast-paced racing conditions or during repeated adjustments.

Positive Cam Cleat Security

Fitted with an integrated cam cleat, the block enables rapid, secure line engagement with smooth, controlled release. This allows precise trimming to be locked off instantly without reliance on secondary hardware, improving ergonomics and efficiency at the trimming position while maintaining reliable holding power under fluctuating loads.

Race-Grade Construction

Manufactured from premium, marine-grade materials and precision-engineered for competitive sailing, the Racing Block with Fiddle, Ratchet, Becket & Cleat is built to withstand high loads, shock forces, and continuous use. Robust side plates, accurately profiled sheaves, and controlled tolerances ensure durability, dimensional stability, and consistent performance in aggressive sailing environments.

Smooth, Low-Friction Performance

Designed to minimise friction while maintaining controlled load modulation, the block delivers smooth rope flow during trimming and easing. Efficient load distribution across the fiddle configuration, combined with ratchet and cleat integration, supports accurate sail control, reduced handling effort, and dependable performance throughout intensive race programmes.
