A block lying flat on the deck is a block the crew has to bend down and find, and this Selden stand-up spring for BBB40 fixes that. It sits between the BBB 40 block and its deck eye, holding the block on end while the sheet is slack, then flexing out of the way so the block can align properly once load comes on. Standing at 40mm with a 30mm diameter, it also lifts the rope clear of the deck, which cuts chafe on the sheet and stops the block picking up grit. Fit it wherever a block needs to be grabbed in a hurry — a spinnaker turning block, a mainsheet lead, or a foredeck tack line. On Irish coastal waters, gear that presents itself to a cold, wet hand is gear that gets used properly.
Sold as: one spring. Block and deck eye are sold separately.
