Snatch blocks are special that they can be opened and closed simply by rotating their cheekplates. This simple fact makes them suitable for maneuvers which are fitted out before the block is placed, such as genoa and spinnaker sheets or mainsail halyard. The cheekplate revolves around the sheave axle allowing the block to open; a safety ball stops the block from opening with an adjustable screw to set the ball on locked position. There is a becket for the hanging line.
