Construction: Because
every boat is as different as the people who sail them, and every sailor has
a different idea of what hardware best meets his needs, Garhauer offers sailboat
blocks in 2 different types of construction:
Stainless Steel Blocks
and Stainless Steel Lite Blocks
S: Stainless Steel
Blocks Designed for the true off shore sailor looking for the ultimate in rugged
dependability, these blocks are constructed of polished stainless steel cheeks
and load straps making them an excellent choice for installation at the masthead
or other hard to service areas. These blocks improve the appearance of any boat!
SL: Lite Blocks:
It is what is missing, that makes them stronger . . . We have taken out the
centers of our new line of sailboat blocks. The result? A better block that
is both stronger and lighter at the same time. By removing the center pin, our
engineers have decreased the weight and increased strength by allowing the cheeks
to support the sheaves along the outer edges, distributing the total load more
evenly across a larger surface.
All blocks, as every Garhauer
part, come with our 10 year unconditional guarantee.
