STEERING BLOCKS

 ALUMINIUM  /ertalyte   or       CARBON / ertalyte          or       CARBON/ carbon

All specially designed for 2 way configurations,

JP3  steering blocks finally offer NO PLAY systems.

JP3 steering blocks are designed to compliment the other steering components to provide a complete system.

All blocks feature :

• Ertalyte sheaves that provide a wear resistant surface that is suitable for either wire or vectran. 

• Sealed stainless steel deep groove bearings to ensure low friction, smooth quiet running.

• Blocks are available in 4 sizes.

• Blocks are available in 3 housing styles to suit all installation details. 

• Aluminium bodies are anodised in our in-house anodisation plant to ensure quality and prevent corrosive action.

BLOCK STYLES

JP3  blocks are available with 5  styles:

JP3 creates a new range of carbon blocks specially designed  for steering systems fitted in racing carbon hulls. Blocks are clean and bonding the cheeks is very simple,  laminating over the end and  wedges , it makes the system  very STRONG but still LIGHTWEIGHT.

•     sheaves and cheeks: carbon*
  
•     sheaves ertalyte*
  
•     shaft: titanium
  
•     bearings stainless steel 
  

    *can be sold separately  

JP3 block bearing allows loads, equally in and out.

(This is too often not the case with on deck sheaves originally made for runners or halyards , efficient one way, but creating friction when reversing.)

Carbon blocks are part of the HELIUM range, made of :

•     Titanium wheel 3 spokes
•     carbon pedestal
•     sprocket or drum steering heads
•     vectran lines
•     Helium cars and tracks, see photos.
•     extra light aluminium tillers
