Barton Large Snatch Block 40'

Barton Large Snatch Block for yachts up to 40' (12.2 m) lets you locate a block anywhere on deck using the fitted 316 stainless steel snap shackle. The side plate unclips so you can drop a loaded sheet into the sheave without re-reeving, enabling rapid changes to sheeting angle while underway. It ships with a snap hook and can be fitted with an optional 316 stainless D shackle for higher loads.

• 316 stainless steel body and snap shackle for corrosion resistance in marine environments
• Glass-filled nylon side plates and sheave for low friction and reduced weight
• Unclip side plate allows fast insertion of lines under load without stopping to reeve
• Includes snap shackle and snap hook with optional 316 stainless D shackle for greater strength
• Designed for yachts up to 40' (12.2 m); ideal to redirect spinnaker or genoa sheets

Problem/solution: when you need a quick change of sheeting angle while sails are set, a snatch block avoids unshipping or restarting a line. Compared to fixed or permanently reeved blocks, this portable snatch block is faster to deploy and reposition and works with lines already under load.

Trust signals: manufactured by Barton Marine MPN 90401 using 316 stainless steel and glass-filled nylon components. Safety note: when mounting on a toerail attach a bungee to the becket to prevent tumbling and potential snag damage. Rinse with fresh water after salt use and inspect the snap shackle and sheave regularly. Contact us for rigging compatibility or technical questions.
