Nautos Ball Snatch Block

The Nautos Ball Snatch Block offers a reliable and easy-to-operate snatch-style block designed for rigging and deck systems on sailing vessels. Available in two size variants (30 mm sheave diameter and 40 mm sheave diameter), this block features stainless steel ball bearings, open-pulley access and robust construction suitable for demanding marine use.
