Barton Ball Bearing Size 3 Fiddle Swivel & Becket Block

The Barton Size 3 Fiddle Swivel Becket Block is designed for small to mid-range vessels and comes with nylon sheaves suitable for all ropes, including braided dyneema. Newly designed for 2019 onwards, the Barton Blocks are known as great value for money and practical for many applications. For racing applications, consider getting the ball bearing versions.

Fiddle Blocks have a smaller sheave attached, which is used to reduce the width of the purchase system instead of a normal double block.

The 45mm sheave size 3 block range incorporates modern design with stainless steel frames and the latest advanced materials, using 30% fibre glass-filled nylon and Acetal sheaves to maximise their strength whilst keeping weight to a minimum. Suitable for use as mainsheet, vangs, lead blocks, or wherever a powerful and compact purchase system is required on dinghies, dayboats and lightweight cruisers.
