Rutgerson Expands Block Assortment for Big Boats

The trend towards larger and more comfortable yachts has caused a new demand for yacht equipment for big boats and high loads. Rutgerson Marin has picked up the trend, and we are now expanding our popular ROC assortment for big boats with two new products: Organisers and Deck Blocks.

Two years ago, we presented our first ROC Block, a solid aluminum block with a completely new type of clever roller bearing specially designed for large boats and extreme loads. As the boats continue to grow in size, more boat builders are discovering our popular ROC range.

“The trend is very clear. We receive significantly more requests for big boat equipment today than we did a few years ago. The increasing number of catamarans are also requiring much stronger equipment than a monohull of the same size”, says Charlotte Rutgerson, managing director at the family business in Sweden where all our products are manufactured.

The two latest additions to Rutgerson’s big boat range are ROC Organisers and ROC Deck Blocks, both used to maximize efficiency of space on deck and lead halyards and other lines from the mast down to the safety of the cockpit.

The ROC Organisers are available with 2-6 shieves

The ROC Deck Blocks are available as single, triple and sextuple

The new blocks were launched at the world’s largest marine equipment trade show, METSTRADE, in Amsterdam November 13-15 2018, and are available on the market as of January 2019.
