Looking to buy double blocks for your sailing yacht? At 123Furling you will find an extensive range of double blocks from leading manufacturers. A double block has two sheaves side by side, providing greater mechanical advantage than a single block. This makes double blocks the ideal choice for purchase systems requiring more pulling force, such as sheets, halyards and cunninghams.
When to choose a double block?
A double block is used when a single block does not provide sufficient mechanical advantage. The two sheaves allow a double block to be combined with a single block to create a 3:1 or 4:1 purchase system. Two double blocks together form a 4:1 or 5:1 purchase, depending on the configuration.
Typical applications for double blocks include mainsheet systems on smaller to mid-sized yachts, jib sheet purchases, cunningham systems and vang tackles. Wherever forces become too high for manual handling with a single block, a double block provides the solution.
Available types
Ball bearing double blocks (BBB series) are the most versatile choice. Stainless steel ball bearings ensure minimal friction. Available from BBB 20 (for lines 2-6 mm) to BBB 40 (for lines 6-10 mm). The BBB 60 offers additional flexibility as a fixed/swivel model.
Plain bearing double blocks (PBB series) are designed for larger yachts with thicker lines and higher loads. Available from PBB 50 (for lines 8-12 mm) to PBB 100 (for lines 8-12 mm).
Roller bearing double blocks (RBB series) offer smooth operation combined with high load capacity. Premium blocks for the heaviest purchase systems.
Tie-on double blocks (S series) are mounted with a Dyneema loop for minimal weight. Popular with racing sailors.
Mounting variants
- With D-shackle: quick to mount, the most versatile option
- Fixed model: for permanent deck or mast mounting
- Swivel model: follows the line direction for optimal operation
- Fixed/swivel model: switchable via a bushing for maximum flexibility
- With becket: additional attachment point, ideal as a starting block
- Through-deck mounting: clean, permanent installation through the deck
- With Dyneema loop: minimal weight, no metal hardware
Building purchase systems
The strength of double blocks lies in combination. A double block at the top combined with a single block at the bottom gives 3:1 advantage. Add a becket to the lower block and you have a 4:1 system. This makes double blocks essential for building efficient purchase systems on your yacht.
When choosing a double block for a purchase system, ensure the blocks are matched. Use blocks from the same series and size for best results. Always verify that the safe working load is well above the maximum load in your system.
