Description
60mm Dynamic Quint Block with Switchable Ratchet and Adjustable Cleat.
Designed specifically for use in high performance Catamaran mainsheet systems. But also ideal for use on Keelboats for mainsheet systems and backstay tensioning systems. Pair with the A2069 or A2069B for a complete system.
Adjustable Cam Cleat Arm – The cam cleat angle can be adjusted by undoing the bolt and sliding the cam cleat on the track up or down. Re-tighten the bolt into one of the new location holes to keep the cleat arm in position.
Bearings – Dynamic Blocks feature our patented bearing system which uses twin rows of stainless-steel ball bearings running on a stainless-steel rail. This provides a superior load-carrying ability and longevity when compared to other bearing systems available on the market.
Custom Fairlead – The A2169 features a custom fairlead which has been designed to allow easy cleating of the mainsheet when pulled from the trapeze. It also gives minimal friction, to ensure you can play the mainsheet harder for longer.
Becket – The becket is removable for customisation of purchase systems.
For quick release, we recommend replacing the standard shackle with the WD-2293 snap shackle.

I put this block system onto my Formula 18 catamaran with great results. Never has it been easier to play the mainsail and respond quickly to gusts. The product feels robust and when combined with a Maffioli mainsheet it runs really freely.
Now I’ve asked the Allen team to put together a 14:1 system for the Vampire. It will be great if we can get the same gust response without the big mainsail pulling our arms off.
