imple, reliable and efficient - the Karver KB block combines both freedom of attachment and extreme safety. Launched 9 years ago, the KB block has won several awards including the famous Freeman K. Pittman Award (2006) granted by SAIL Magazine. Its design and its multiple attachment possibilities make this block super versatile.
Assembled with ball or roller bearings, KB blocks are extremely low friction (KB Range). Assembled with self-lubricating plain bearings, they ensure very high working load for a minimal size (KBC Range).
FEATURES
- LIGHT WEIGHT Compared to traditional blocks (at equal working load), the use of a soft attachment through the centre of the block reduces weight up to 50%.
- VERSATILITY With the use of lashing materials, multiple attachments are possible when installing the block (e.g Backstay sytems), or even just to tie it up (eg. to prevent capsize).
- SAFETY FEATURES Attachment through the centre prevents the running line from becoming disconnected from the lashing line if the block fails under extreme load.
- SILENT Unlike metallic shackles, the use of textile attachments avoids metallic impacts on deck which contributes to keeping the boat quiet
