Lewmar 60mm Synchro Single Block, 1,760 lb Working Load Limit, Fits 5/16 to 3/8 Inch Line - 29926001BK
The Lewmar 60mm Synchro Single Block (29926001BK) is a single-sheave sailing block engineered for efficient rope handling on halyards, mainsheet systems, mast foot and head blocks, and boom vangs. The 60mm sheave is sized to accommodate line diameters from 5/16 inch to 3/8 inch and carries a 1,760 pound working load limit, giving it the strength for demanding running rigging applications.
A high-density Free-Spin bearing reduces axle diameter and rope friction, delivering smoother power transfer and less rope wear compared to standard budget blocks. The block geometry and self-aligning head are optimized to keep the sheave tracking true under load, and the design allows an easy switch between swiveling and fixed shackle configurations to suit different rigging setups. Stiff glass fiber reinforced cheeks resist flexing and help prevent lines from wedging between the sheave and the block body, while a stainless steel strap adds strength and extends service life. The shackle post is precision-designed for compatibility with Lewmar traveler systems.
