Teardrop blocks are ideal as masthead leads and in other applications where limited articulation or direct attachment is desired. When attached to a compatible padeye, teardrop blocks will not hit the deck when lines are slack, but allow enough movement to ensure fairleads when jumping halyards
They are often used on permanent backstays of fractionally rigged boats where the backstay can be spliced directly to the head of the block. Sideplates and sheaves Hard Lube-anodized for maximum UV protection and a smooth surface

Description
The entire line of black magic airblocks has been redesigned with a sleek new look. Their unique, performance-packed engineering remains exactly the same. Carrying some of the highest loads imposed by running rigging, these strong, lightweight blocks feature torlon; roller bearings housed in a center cage. Rollers stay parallel for low-friction efficiency. Sculpted hardcoat-anodized aluminum sideplates protect sideload ball bearings.
