The ratchet block is arguably one of the most important pieces of hardware used on a sailboat, so choosing the correct size and type can make a big difference to how you sail your boat and what feedback the sails give you.

Allen has launched an additional option for their range of ratchet blocks, dubbed the Wave Ratchet, which will offer between 20 to 40%* more grip without adding any additional wear to the rope.

Thanks to our Team Allen sailor, Nathan Edwards, for this fantastic review of the A2360 - X2 AutoRatchet.

Allen set a new standard for extreme performance when we introduced the A2030XHL block in 2015. Not everyone is a racer, but everyone benefits from the improvements in technology which arise out of competition.

Allen Brothers will release its new AutoRatchet blocks. The A2345 and A2360, to the marine industry on stand 03.216 at the METS trade show in Amsterdam.
