Lewmar 50mm Synchro Block Single Becket, 990 lb Working Load Limit, 1/4 - 3/8 Inch Line
The Lewmar 50mm Synchro Block Single Becket is a sailboat block built for efficient line handling on halyards, mainsheet systems, mast foot and head applications, and boom vangs. It uses a 50mm sheave with a 990 lb working load limit and accommodates line diameters from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch, making it suited to a wide range of small to mid-size sailboat rigging setups.
The block's geometry and larger sheave diameter are engineered to minimize rope friction, while a high-density Free-Spin bearing reduces axle diameter to cut friction further and boost overall efficiency compared to standard budget blocks. A self-aligning head keeps the block synchronized with the rope's movement for smoother power transfer and reduced rope wear during use. The single becket design provides a fixed attachment point for tying off a line, useful in multi-part purchase systems.
Construction pairs stiff, glass fiber reinforced cheeks, which help prevent lines from wedging, with a stainless steel strap for added strength and long-term durability in a marine environment. The block allows an easy switch between swiveling and fixed shackle configurations, and its shackle post is designed for compatibility with Lewmar traveler systems. The complete unit includes one block with becket, ready to install on compatible sailboat hardware.
