single sheave ECO ships block

Sturdy and durable ship blocks in traditional shape and design, but with a maintenance-free wood composite material made from bamboo sawdust and recycled plastics.

In colour and surface texture, this composite material is almost indistinguishable from real wood. It does not absorb water and therefore does not require extensive oiling, painting, or other maintenance. The solidity of this rather heavy material allows the stringers of these traditionally built and riveted blocks to be slightly thinner, which gives the blocks an elegant appearance.

The hardware is matte stained stainless-steel (AISI316) and the sheave is black ERTACETAL plastic with a low-friction, maintenance-free composite plain bearing. The strong stainless steel axle is secured against twisting and falling out.
