When it comes to upgrading and picking a new ratchet block there are many options you can choose from.
The Harken 57mm is one of the most popular ratchet blocks on the market with most new boats from Laser and RS coming new with this block. The Carbo design is lightweight at 85g and is durable with a 5-year warranty making it a great option for your boat. This fits up to 10mm rope so is compatible with most dinghies. Harken 57mm Carbo Ratchet Block
The Allen 60mm is a relatively new block with a different design philosophy from the Harken block. The larger sheave allows up to 12mm rope so great for all sheets on most dinghy and keelboats. Having a waved sheave offers up to 40% more grip without adding additional wear to the rope. Allen 60mm Pro Ratchet with Wave Sheave
The 60mm Selden ratchet block is the most affordable of the 3 with a carbon fibre reinforced sheave over the other block's aluminium sheave this different-shaped sheave is designed to work with a range of sizes of lines. This block gives you the option to turn the ratchet off to have a free flowing block in lighter airs. Selden 60mm Manual Ratchet Single Block

Great, speedy service and quality product. Thank you
Well thought out kit bag with a large internal compartment and small mesh pockets inside and out. The wet compartment is really useful. Appears to be well made and the strap is comfy over the shoulder. Easily packed in my winter gear plus a few spare tops etc but if you like to carry multiple winter wetsuits or have lots of spares you may want to go for a larger 90l bag.
