The Wichard #63118 is a compact, high-strength single block designed for sailors looking for a 45mm sheave block with a D-ring attachment for webbing.

Designed for 10mm rope, the block combines Wichard’s robust plain-bearing technology with a versatile attachment configuration. The D ring makes it particularly useful for installations where the block needs to be connected using suitable webbing rather than a conventional shackle or fixed eye.

45mm Sheave for 10mm Rope

The Wichard #63118 features:

Sheave Diameter: 45mm

Maximum Rope Size: 10mm

The 45mm sheave provides a compact solution for a wide variety of sailing rope-control systems while maintaining an impressive load capacity.

Plain Bearing Construction

The #63118 belongs to Wichard’s Plain Bearing Block range.

This type of construction focuses on strength, simplicity and durability, making it particularly suitable for applications where the block must withstand significant or relatively static loads.

The robust bearing design makes this Wichard block a reliable solution for demanding sailing applications.

Webbing D Ring Attachment

The feature that distinguishes the #63118 from other 45mm blocks in the range is its:

Webbing D Ring

Instead of a conventional swivel head, fixed eye or clevis, the block incorporates a D-shaped ring designed for attachment with suitable webbing.

This provides additional installation possibilities and makes the block particularly useful where a webbing-based attachment is preferred.

400kg Working Load

Despite its compact dimensions, the Wichard #63118 has a:

Working Load: 400kg

This provides substantial load capacity for a single 45mm block and makes it suitable for demanding sailing systems.

900kg Breaking Load

The manufacturer specifies a:

Breaking Load: 900kg

The breaking load should not be considered the normal operating limit. Selection and operation should always be based on the manufacturer’s 400kg working load and the requirements of the complete installation.

Compact Dimensions

The Wichard #63118 measures:

Height: 93mm
Width: 49mm
Thickness: 26mm

These compact dimensions make it easy to incorporate into sailing systems where available installation space is limited.

Weight Only 108g

The complete block weighs:

108g

Considering its 400kg working load and 900kg breaking load, the #63118 provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for sailing applications.

Why Choose a Webbing D Ring?

A D-ring attachment provides an alternative to traditional metal-to-metal mounting systems.

For compatible installations, suitable webbing can provide a practical connection between the block and its attachment point.

The #63118 therefore gives sailors another mounting option within Wichard’s 45mm block family, alongside models with swivel heads, fixed eyes and clevis connections.

High Strength in a Compact Block

One of the major advantages of the #63118 is the combination of:

400kg Working Load

900kg Breaking Load

108g Weight

This means the block provides substantial load capacity without becoming unnecessarily large or heavy.

For sailors looking to optimize their deck hardware, this balance between strength, weight and compact dimensions is an important advantage.
