Barton Snatch Blocks 90301, 90401 & 90402 – Fact Sheet

Barton Snatch Blocks give the crew the option to locate the block anywhere on deck by means of the stainless steel snap shackle then locate a rope into the sheave without the need to reeve the line through. The side plate unclips to allow easy access.

Manufactured using 316 stainless steel they come with a snap shackle, snap hook and glass filled nylon side plates. You can also choose a stainless steel ‘D’ Shackle for ultimate strength.

These are used to divert sheet lines already in use, typically the Spinnaker or Genoa where a change of sheeting angle is required.
