Ronstan shocks are available in two sizes and act as a sheaveless block. Less likely to fail and long lasting these hardwearing shocks are available in four bright colours.
With no moving parts shocks provide ultimate durability and are maintenance free. They are ideal where sand and grit would get into a bearing system or where regular flushing out isn’t possible. Their design and smoothness also makes them kind on your ropes. As with any sailing product it is always recommended to rinse the shocks after going sailing.
The smaller Ronstan shocks come as a pair of two together. The larger shocks are sold individually.
Use Ronstan shocks for your trapeze systems as the turning point to lift you up and down when on the wire. You can splice onto one end of the shock and run the adjuster rope through the other end for smooth adjustments.
Your lines will run smoothly through your kicker system if you use a shock. You can splice your 12 strand dyneema onto one side while the adjustment line runs through to pull the system tight.
Deflect lines around your boat, or keep them within arms reach using a shock. You can tie, lash or splice the shock into position and run your ropes through the other side.
Replace your soft attachment blocks with a shock. Easier to splice or lash onto and they are less likely to fail.
We've seen Ronstan shocks used for outhaul systems on Lasers and other similar dinghies. The advantage is you can pass a shock through a dyneema loop to secure the outhaul to the sail and it's a very lightweight solution.

Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
