RonstanRonstan Series 25 Ball Bearing Orbit Block™ – Single with Becket & Lashing Head
Lightweight 25mm ball bearing block with becket and lashing head, designed for high-performance dinghy control systems and rigging applications.
The Ronstan Series 25 Ball Bearing Orbit Block™ is engineered for high-performance dinghy sailing where strength, weight, and efficiency are critical. Designed with competitive sailors in mind, this compact 25mm single block delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance for demanding control line systems.
Featuring a 2-stage ball bearing system with high compression strength acetal bearings, the block ensures smooth, low-friction operation under load. This allows for precise trimming and efficient load handling across a range of applications including mainsheet systems, spinnaker sheets, cunninghams, and cascading vangs.
The stainless steel hub is designed for versatile lashing attachments and incorporates a through-sheave becket for additional rigging flexibility. The hollow hub allows for efficient becket take-off, while supporting up to 4mm lashing line, making it adaptable to a wide range of custom setups.
Constructed with a toughened, glass fibre reinforced nylon frame, the Series 25 Orbit Block™ is built to withstand the rigours of high-load dinghy sailing while maintaining a lightweight profile. Suitable for lines up to 8mm, this block is an ideal choice for performance dinghies and small boats up to 4 metres.
