The Seldén PBB 80 triple block is a heavy-duty plain bearing block designed for the highest working loads on larger sailing yachts and racing boats. This impressive triple block features three large sheaves that distribute the load extremely efficiently, providing maximum mechanical advantage when handling mainsheets, genoa sheets, halyards and other heavily loaded line systems. The PBB 80 series is renowned for its robustness and reliability under the most demanding conditions at sea.

The construction of this Seldén PBB 80 triple block combines cheeks and sheaves made from glass fibre reinforced polyamide with a stainless steel strap that holds the assembly firmly together. The top swivel bushing is manufactured from bronze, ensuring exceptionally smooth rotation and a long service life, even under continuous heavy loading. The plain bearing provides reliable, low-maintenance operation that withstands salt water, UV radiation and the constant loading characteristic of offshore sailing. The locking button allows easy switching between swivel and fixed positions, making the block exceptionally versatile.

With an impressive safe working load of 2000 kg and a breaking strength of 4000 kg, this triple block ranks among the strongest in the Seldén range. The block comes complete with straight D-shackles with a pin diameter of 10 mm, guaranteeing a secure and reliable attachment to eye bolts, mast fittings or other heavy-duty attachment points. The swivel attachment point ensures the block is always optimally aligned with the line direction, regardless of the angle at which force is applied. This prevents unnecessary wear on both the line and the block and ensures maximum efficiency of the purchase system.
