Composite slide bodies with plunger stops run on anodised aluminium track, and allow quick and easy manual adjustment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLightweight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComposite jib lead cars continue the design philosophy of the award winning Ronstan BB and RT Orbit Blocks, with virtually all metal components now replaced with high-tech polymers and fibre equivalents. The car design has been modelled and optimised using finite element analysis and rapid prototyping techniques to achieve maximum strength-to-weight characteristics. Orbit Block models use a Dyneema Link which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, to provide the articulated connection between block and car.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntegrated Functionality\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe clever 2-piece car body is molded from a composite material that delivers low friction on the alloy track without the need for separate inserts. It also provides the required mechanical strength without the weight and corrosion drawbacks of metal parts. An integrated becket at the forward end of the car suits 2:1 sheet systems and the removable threaded pin allows easy fitting of alternate blocks and accessories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow Profile and Compact\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSleek styling and the positioning of the attachment pin provide a low lead aft for the lead block. The Dyneema Link allows full articulation. The plunger stop button has a flush finish and the contoured form of the car eliminates the chance of lines and sails becoming snagged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrecise Adjustment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ergonomic plunger stop toggle combined with low friction of the car body allows for easy one-handed adjustment. The toggle is located at the rear of the car for easy access from the cockpit on sports boats and small keel boats. An arrow is located on the side to indicate the position of the stop for repeatable settings. A 'Racing' track has 25mm(63\/64\") stop hole spacing for even more precise control of the car position and sheeting angle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow profile and lightweight\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eRemovable attachment pin to suit either Dyneema Link or a shackle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntegrated becket for 2:1 headsail sheet systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeadsail sheet leads on boats up to 8M (26').\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToughened, glass fibre reinforced Nylon slide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLength:\u003c\/b\u003e\t102mm(4\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eM.W.L.:\u003c\/b\u003e\t500kg(1,100lbs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eB.

Its 102mm (4 inch) length makes it suitable for various sailing applications, providing reliable control for headsail sheet leads. The slide features composite bodies with plunger stops that run smoothly on anodised aluminium track, allowing for quick and precise manual adjustments without the need for tools. This construction ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, ideal for racing or cruising vessels up to 26 feet. The design philosophy draws from Ronstan's award-winning Orbit Block series, utilizing high-tech polymers and fibre components to maximize strength-to-weight ratio. The Dyneema Link used in the articulated connection between the block and car is ten times stronger and lighter than steel, contributing to the overall lightweight and high-performance characteristics of the system.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e* Low profile and lightweight construction for optimal performance\n\u003cbr\u003e* Removable attachment pin compatible with Dyneema Link or shackle for versatile mounting options\n\u003cbr\u003e* Integrated becket designed for 2:1 headsail sheet systems, simplifying rig setup\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronstan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48654770864436,"sku":"55018","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/0575\/7748\/files\/55018XL.jpg?v=1751537458","url":"https:\/\/bldmarine.com\/products\/ronstan-series-25-t-track-composite-slide-4-inch-for-small-keel-and-sportsboats","provider":"BLDMarine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
