Wichard Fiddle Block 45 mm for 10 mm Rope

The Wichard 63405 is a strong and compact fiddle block designed for sailing applications where efficient rope routing and dependable load handling are essential.

Its fiddle configuration places the sheaves in line, creating a narrow block that is particularly useful when building multi-part purchase systems without the additional width of a conventional side-by-side double block. This makes it a practical choice for applications where both mechanical advantage and compact installation are important.

The block uses a plain bearing system, with the sheave running directly on a stainless steel bush. This simple and robust design is particularly suitable for high-load and relatively static operations.

Swivel Head for Flexible Installation

The swivel head provides greater freedom when positioning the block and allows it to adapt more easily to different attachment arrangements.

Its universal head design offers a wide choice of fastening possibilities, making the Wichard 63405 easy to integrate into different deck and rigging systems.

Built for Demanding Marine Use

The head configuration and load straps are manufactured from 316L stainless steel, while the lightweight POM cheeks protect the sheaves. The sheave itself is made from composite material, combining durability with low overall weight.

With a working load of 560 kg and a breaking load of 1000 kg, the 63405 offers impressive strength while weighing only 147 g.

Wichard recommends it for:

• Mainsheet systems
• Halyard applications
