The KBRCW15 is a KBRC (Carbon) block with a thin layer of natural varnished wood, capable of handling a working load of 1.5 tons. It offers all the performance of the KBRC with an added touch of aesthetics.
With or without wood veneer, this block is designed for racing and super yachts. It’s a low-friction lashing block intended for high loads and is used on Ultims, Imocas, and numerous Super Yachts. Very few blocks on the market can achieve a friction coefficient of 2% under such high loads. It features a titanium sheave, titanium rollers, ceramic side balls, and varnished carbon cheeks. The KBRC and its variations are certainly among the highest-performing blocks on the market
Strengths
– Natural wood veneer
– Used on many racing yachts & super yachts
– Reliable and resistant even under very heavy load
– Carbon flanges
– Titanium sheave for weight and resistance
– Titanium roller bearing and lateral ceramic balls on treated titanium raceways (Karver patent)
– Compact tulip sheaves
– Minimal friction even under very high load (2%)
– Impressive longevity of the bearings (due to the low friction)
– Anti-overturning shape. The pulley remains straight whatever the direction of the effort
– Very generous central space to come and fix several lashings (low runners for example)
– The lashing in the middle is also too big a guarantee of safety. If the pulley breaks (for external reasons of course!), The lashing will still retain the rope while the installation is secure.
– A real design that stands out from other pulleys on the market
– Range from 1.5 T to 40 T. We keep ALL models up to KBRC160 (16T) in stock).
