        All T2 blocks are lashed or spliced through the load-bearing center of the block, decreasing the loads   almost anything: cascades, bridles,

        T2 Blocks
        T2 blocks come in single and double configurations and can be tied, spliced, or lashed to almost
        anything. T2 doubles feature composite line guides that are integrated into the block head. They
        keep the block aligned correctly by pushing the lashing line to the outer edges of the block's head.

        during mark roundings, and asymmetrical spinnaker sheets free instantly during jibes.
        The weight of this high-strength block is only a few ounces. This is thanks to composite
        fiber-reinforced sideplates, hardcoat-anodized aluminum sheave, a lightweight soft-attach,
        and a minimum of moving parts in the ratcheting mechanism.
        A length of Spectra  line with a polyester cover is included.
