60MM BLOCK - SINGLE
A2060C - DYNAMIC single block - Sheave diameter 60mm with flat-to-bridge adapter - MWL=500kg
The Allen A2069B 60mm Dynamic Quint Block with Becket is the ultimate high-performance ball bearing block engineered to deliver the lowest possible friction across five sheaves simultaneously. Specifically designed as a low-friction mainsheet system for sports catamarans, the A2069B is equally at home as a backstay tensioning block on keelboats and across a wide range of other high-load rigging applications. With its integrated removable central becket, the A2069B offers an unmatched level of purchase system customisation — making it the most versatile and capable five-sheave block in Allen's Dynamic range.
Complete High-Ratio Mainsheet System — For a complete 11:1 or 12:1 mainsheet system, the A2069B pairs perfectly with the A2169 Pro-Ratchet 60mm Quint Block and the A20401S 40mm Dynamic Single Block with Strap — delivering the ultimate plug-and-play high-ratio mainsheet solution for sports catamaran racing at the highest level.
Patented Bearing System — At the heart of the A2069B lies Allen's industry-leading twin-row stainless-steel ball bearing system, running on a stainless-steel rail. This patented design delivers exceptional load-carrying capacity and outstanding long-term durability, outperforming all conventional bearing systems currently available on the market — a decisive advantage when five sheaves are working simultaneously under the extreme loads generated by modern sports catamaran mainsheet and backstay systems.
Removable Swivel Lock — The A2069B features a removable swivel lock moulding, offering two distinct modes of operation. When installed, the attachment shackle locks in precise 90-degree orientations for fixed-lead applications. When removed, the shackle spins freely for complete rotational versatility — ensuring the A2069B adapts instantly to the most demanding and dynamic rigging configurations on the race course.
Removable Central Ringot — The A2069B features a dedicated central ringot positioned between the sheaves, combining maximum mechanical advantage with the most precise and balanced load management available in a quint block configuration. The ringot can be fully removed by undoing the split ring, offering three distinct configuration options: use it as a clean rope termination point for a spliced rope end, attach an additional block to further increase the purchase ratio of your system, or remove it entirely for a streamlined, lightweight setup. This exceptional level of versatility makes the A2069B the most adaptable five-sheave block on the market.
When five sheaves, maximum mechanical advantage, removable ringot versatility and total low-friction performance are the only acceptable standard — the Allen A2069B 60mm Dynamic Quint Block with Becket is the definitive choice for sports catamaran sailors and keelboat racers who demand the absolute peak of purchase block performance from their deck hardware.
