Block friction ring| Ring-Nub® R-Nub 15c

POA

Ring-Nub® is an open spherical low-friction ring that withstands very high loads and is available for strings from 3 mm to 12 mm maximum.

Ring-Nub offers a unique combination of advantages in terms of performance, durability and ease of use. It's an excellent choice for applications where friction must be minimized and strength maximized.

 

Description

+ Use

High load in dynamic use

  • 3D headsail adjustment

  • Backstay and tackle
  • Cascade for boom downhaul
  • Double sheet forwarders
  • Deck plates & tackle

... just about everything!

  • Ideal for reefing, cascade hoisting (backstay, vang, backstay), corner return, or even cap-de-mons on standing rigging (shrouds, sub-boom).
  • Easily installed anywhere on deck, chainplate, jib rail, mast foot...thanks to our various Dyneema® textile connectors.
