Ronstan shocks are available in two sizes and act as a sheaveless block. Less likely to fail and long lasting these hardwearing shocks are available in four bright colours.
With no moving parts shocks provide ultimate durability and are maintenance free. They are ideal where sand and grit would get into a bearing system or where regular flushing out isn’t possible. Their design and smoothness also makes them kind on your ropes. As with any sailing product it is always recommended to rinse the shocks after going sailing.
The smaller Ronstan shocks come as a pair of two together. The larger shocks are sold individually.
Use Ronstan shocks for your trapeze systems as the turning point to lift you up and down when on the wire. You can splice onto one end of the shock and run the adjuster rope through the other end for smooth adjustments.
Your lines will run smoothly through your kicker system if you use a shock. You can splice your 12 strand dyneema onto one side while the adjustment line runs through to pull the system tight.
Deflect lines around your boat, or keep them within arms reach using a shock. You can tie, lash or splice the shock into position and run your ropes through the other side.
Replace your soft attachment blocks with a shock. Easier to splice or lash onto and they are less likely to fail.
We've seen Ronstan shocks used for outhaul systems on Lasers and other similar dinghies. The advantage is you can pass a shock through a dyneema loop to secure the outhaul to the sail and it's a very lightweight solution.

Excellent, fair pricing, fast delivery! Would recommend
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
