ILCA Mainsheet Blocks and Vang Units.
Ronstan’s ILCA® mainsheet blocks provide the perfect balance of strength, performance, and reliability Ronstan is known for. They feature a 2-stage bearing system which minimises friction and gives sailors ultimate control while trimming.
Ronstan’s ILCA® lower vang unit is the new benchmark in design and performance. Thoroughly tested on the water by leading ILCA® sailors, the vang unit features optimised geometry to minimise line chafe and friction which provides a purchase advantage, and easy cleating and releasing to stay in full control when playing the vang from any angle while inboard or hiking. The RF34108HL is a purpose designed ILCA® top vang block.
Use them anywhere.
A balanced design approach incorporating functionality, performance and style makes Ronstan Core Blocks™ the right choice for performance cruising or racing applications. Our 2-stage bearing system provides smooth, low friction efficiency across the full working load range. Removeable becket pins are ideal for use with pre-spliced lines, and the universal head post can be locked at 0 or 90 degrees or left free to swivel. Acetal and aluminium sheave options, alloy side plates, and stainless fixings complete the durable package.
Available in numerous configurations and ranging in size from 45mm to 100mm, Core Blocks™ are an appropriate choice for many applications on boats up to around 53’ LOA.
