Carbo Violin Blocks

Carbo Violin blocks - precision and versatility for demanding sailors

Our Carbo Violin blocks are the result of innovative technology and high-quality materials that have been developed for sailors with high demands. These blocks are characterised by heavy-duty ball bearings that run smoothly in round shells and are therefore suitable for various applications on the water.

Main features

• 40mm violin block: Ideal for 3:1 and 4:1 tackles, ideal for dinghy downhauls and mainsheets. Also suitable for control lines such as Cunningham and internal boom outhauls on larger yachts.


• 57mm violin block: Equipped with the Cam-Lock device, which allows the arm to be locked in 90-degree increments or rotated freely.

Technical details

• Carbo Ratchets: Reversible ratchets that can be switched on and off precisely. The switches are easy to reach and operate on both sides of the block.


• Possible uses: Perfect for downhaul, cunningham, outhaul and fine trim on the mainsheet.

The Carbo Violin blocks not only offer functionality, but also the durability that experienced sailors appreciate. Their versatility and robustness make them an indispensable part of any sailing equipment.
