Ball bearing pulleys
The ball bearing block is an essential element for optimizing sailing performance. Designed for dynamic maneuvering, it is particularly well-suited to fast, precise sheet trimming, especially for mainsail, jib and genoa sheets. Its design reduces friction, offering greater efficiency for the most demanding maneuvers.
STRENGTH AND PRECISION
The ball-bearing block is distinguished by its ability to offer smooth movement thanks to its two rows of ball bearings. This design makes it a preferred choice for sailboats requiring fast maneuvers, such as adjusting mainsail and spinnaker sheets. However, for maneuvers involving heavy loads, it is advisable to opt for a friction block, as the balls can ovalize under excessive pressure. The robustness of the ball-bearing pulley ensures optimum use in the most demanding conditions, while guaranteeing long service life.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
Maintenance of ball-bearing pulleys is crucial to maintaining their performance. Salt can build up between the balls, making the bearings less fluid. Regular cleaning of these pulleys is therefore recommended to avoid malfunctions. For those looking for a simpler solution, the single pulley with wedge can be an interesting alternative, requiring less maintenance yet offering acceptable performance for certain applications.
SAILING VERSATILITY
Ball-bearing pulleys are also available in different models to meet specific sailing needs. For example, the offers versatility for small maneuvers, while the allows quick and convenient use on deck. What's more, users looking for superior quality can opt for a that combines robustness and durability.
At Nautisports, we make it a point of honor to offer quality pulleys for all sailing enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a pulley for dynamic maneuvers or for heavier settings, you'll find the ideal equipment to optimize your performance at sea.
