When it comes to upgrading and picking a new ratchet block there are many options you can choose from.
The Harken 57mm is one of the most popular ratchet blocks on the market with most new boats from Laser and RS coming new with this block. The Carbo design is lightweight at 85g and is durable with a 5-year warranty making it a great option for your boat. This fits up to 10mm rope so is compatible with most dinghies. Harken 57mm Carbo Ratchet Block
The Allen 60mm is a relatively new block with a different design philosophy from the Harken block. The larger sheave allows up to 12mm rope so great for all sheets on most dinghy and keelboats. Having a waved sheave offers up to 40% more grip without adding additional wear to the rope. Allen 60mm Pro Ratchet with Wave Sheave
The 60mm Selden ratchet block is the most affordable of the 3 with a carbon fibre reinforced sheave over the other block's aluminium sheave this different-shaped sheave is designed to work with a range of sizes of lines. This block gives you the option to turn the ratchet off to have a free flowing block in lighter airs. Selden 60mm Manual Ratchet Single Block

Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
Work really well.
Lovely looking Lazer decal, sticks very well and easy to fit.
What a lovely rubber stick.
Fits perfectly, and comes with everything you need
I have bought so many this from chandlery, but this is the first time I felt disappointed, due to the size of the tape supplied.
I could of bought from elsewhere and got a much bigger roll for a similar price.
Perfect with 6 mm shockcord for reefing mainsail. Delivered promptly.
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
Best padding I've found for my ancient rear end!
Ropes are great quality and do the job they say they do! Would highly recommend - price is also a lot more reasonable than equivalents from other companies
