Seldén soft attachment blocks

The new Soft attachment blocks from Seldén are reliable, strong and just simply good looking. Not only the have replaced the stainless steel shackles, but they completely re-designed the block as well.

Attaching blocks with a loop or lashing is not particularly new. However, Seldén has come up with a smart way to connect the block with a Dyneema^® loop using a patented insert in the central rivet of the block. This doesn’t only look great, but also ensures a fast an secure attachment. A smart and strong pre-spliced loop made from Dyneema^® is supplied together with the block.

The Soft attachment block is made with stainless steel ball bearings and a composite(Acetal) sheave. For high-load applications there is also a version of the Soft Attachment blocks with an aluminium sheave and Torlon^® bearings.

The new blocks are available with ø20, 30 and 40 mm sheaves. A double block is available too. This makes the new Soft attachment blocks from Selden perfect for dinghy racing and sportboats. The high-load version with aluminium sheave and Torlon^® bearings could also be used for several applications in yacht racing like a vang system, barber haulers or a Cunningham.
