BIG BOAT SNATCH BLOCK

SHEAVE DIAMETER: 4 ¼"
MAX LINE SIZE: ¾"
OVERALL LENGTH: Aprx. 11"

They just don't make 'em like this no more.  In its day, this was one beautiful piece of hardware.  Though it's seen a lot of blue-water miles, it still looks pretty darn good and is fully functional.  It can be (and has recently been) completely disassembled for cleaning and lubrication.  The 4+ inch titanium sheave turns smoothly on 17 stainless steel roller bearings.  The snap-shackle, fitted to a heavy trunion, enables a fair alignment of your sheet from any attachment point.  Heavy rubber cheeks cushion impact.

This will be a bargain if you can use a block of this size.

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

Drayson Racing has launched a contest with the Royal College of Art's Vehicle Design program to design electric racing car concepts for the FIA's new Formula E series, which is set to start in 2014. The RCA's students are asked to present designs that explore new themes within the technical constraints as part of this course's curriculum. The previous Drayson Formula E concept was developed by Sergio Rinland who will be part of a series of workshops and lectures on aerodynamics, engineering packaging, production engineering and materials, giving students the technical knowledge to develop their designs.

Fiat 500 Blackjack Limited Edition

Thu, 22 Jul 2010

Fiat's latest Limited Edition 500 - The Fiat 500 Blackjack Anything MINI can do, Fiat can do too with the Fiat 500. So – in the best MINI school of marketing style – yet another Fiat 500 is to hit the road – this time the Fiat 500 Blackjack. The Fiat 500 Blackjack is a cash-in on that flavour of the moment – matt wrap (we are assuming it’s a wrap) – to give a matt black 500, which actually looks rather good to our eyes.

Dream – Cars of the Future Since 1950

Fri, 28 Nov 2008

The city of Turin has been celebrating as World Design Capital 2008 this year with a series of over 200 separate events and exhibitions. One of the highlights has been a series of three themed shows running throughout the year, entitled '20th Century', 'Speed' and 'Dream'; the final exhibition of this trilogy. Housed at the Giovanni Agnelli Espositione - the wonderful Nervi-designed hall on Corso Massimo D'Azeglio that used to host the Salone di Torino in the 1950s - 'Dream' is a fabulous exhibition but, regrettably, one that hasn't been well publicized outside of Turin city.
