Rigging Blocks
Essential rigging pieces to fit out a sailing boat, the blocks exist in a wide range of sizes. More or less sophisticated, with a variable number of sheaves, they are adapted to the different functions associated with the ropes on the ship. Single or turning blocks, are made of three major elements: 2 cheeks (or flanks) which enclose the block, one or several sheaves.
Manufactured with modern materials, this blocks are maintenance-free, unlike the wooden blocks that fitted the old sailing ships.
New CAP Maquettes manufactures several functional and realistic rigging blocks to fit out your models of sailing yachts.
Available in diameters of 5, 8, 10 and 15mm, the New CAP Maquettes blocks are made of stainless steel or brass, with nylon or metal sheaves, with or without ball bearing, with swivel or shackle, in single, double or triple version sheaves, with or without a becket or a fiddle.
They are ideally suited to move your sailing ships.
