Allen were pioneers in the development of the first automatic ratchet blocks more than 20 years ago.

The clever internal mechanism is designed to activate when the block is under load - as every sailor knows this can make all the difference on a long spinnaker reach or upwind beat Years of constant development with the world's top sailors has made the Ezi-ratchet one of the most reliable and effective on the market. All our ratchet blocks are engineered with ball bearing technology and advanced engineering polymers for longevity and performance.
