The S40 Double soft attachment block from Seldén is reliable, strong and just simply good looking. Not only the have replaced the stainless steel shackle, 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. Choose between the complete assembly including a ready-made spliced loop or just the block itself for lashing.
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.
