Selden Blocks

Selden's plain bearing blocks are cruising hardware in the best sense - quiet, hugely durable and happiest under the sustained loads that ball bearings dislike. This collection covers the range in 50mm and 60mm sheave sizes: singles and doubles, becket versions, fiddle blocks with and without cam cleats, cheek blocks, and plain replacement sheaves for masts and booms.

Plain bearings carry high static loads without deforming, which makes these blocks ideal for halyards, vangs, and purchase systems that sit loaded for hours - and a natural match for Selden spars, where the sheaves slot straight into masts and booms. Match sheave size to line diameter, choose a becket where the purchase dead-ends at the block, and a fiddle-cam where you want to cleat right at the tackle.
