The KBRCW250 is a KBRC (Carbon) block with a thin layer of natural varnished wood, capable of handling a working load of 2.5 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.
