RED Ratchamatic Blocks The Carbo Ratchamatic is a load-sensing ratchet block that rolls freely in both directions under low loads and automatically engages the ratchet as loads increase. Shifting between ratchet and light-air modes is seamless. Unloaded main and jib sheets run out freely during mark roundings and asymmetrical spinnakers free instantly during jibes. Ratchet engagement may be adjusted to a higher or lower load according to strength and sailing style. The Ratchamatic cheek block mounts on either port or starboard. The holding power of the 57 mm is as high as 10:1. The 75 mm is up to 15:1. For the ultimate system, mount a Ratchamatic block on the boom above a cockpit-mounted switchable ratchet to allow the mainsheet to run freely in light air and to double holding power in heavy air. Use the 2634 with a 402 or 403 swivel arm for a versatile two-speed mainsheet system. About Carbo Air blocks: see feature page at beginning of this section. Adjustable ratchet engagement adapts block to a variety of applications. *Includes RH fasteners and mounting pad. **Maximum working loads and breaking loads for blocks based on cam strengths.

All 57 mm and 75 mm Ratchamatic blocks are also available with Power3 sheaves which offer holding power options suitable for a variety of wind conditions. In addition, all 57 mm Ratchamatic blocks can be made with HTE (high threshold engage) sheaves to delay ratchet engagement, allowing them to run freely more of the time.
