Lewmar HTX Fiddle Block

Lewmar HTX Fiddle Block

Product Description

Part of Lewmar’s HTX range, the Lewmar HTX Fiddle Block is the result of years of collaboration with boat builders, designers, and sailors, ensuring a high-performance solution for modern sailing systems. Constructed with the finest materials, this block is designed to provide superior sail handling and durability under demanding conditions.

The HTX Fiddle Block features a machined bearing pin surface, improving efficiency at loads above 450g. This ensures smoother operation and helps facilitate the self-lubrication of the acetal sheaves, further enhancing the block’s longevity and performance.

Robust Aluminium side cheeks provide structural strength and reliability, while the side thrust Delrin ball bearings and central plain bearing work together to ensure smooth and efficient sail handling, even under heavy loads. This combination of features reduces rope wear and guarantees smooth performance in a variety of applications.

Ideal for systems that require frequent adjustments, the HTX Fiddle Block is designed to work seamlessly with modern line technology, allowing for the use of reduced-diameter lines, which further improves performance and reduces rope friction.

The Lewmar HTX Fiddle Block is a versatile and essential piece of sailing equipment, ideal for use in high-load, frequently adjusted systems where smooth operation and durability are paramount.
