Description
The Wichard MXEvo Captive Pin is a high-performance one-piece block designed for heavy-load sailing and rigging applications. Forged from 17.4 PH stainless steel, it offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability with minimal maintenance. The captive pin design ensures the pin remains attached when opened, preventing loss and enhancing safety during operation.
Available in three sizes to accommodate rope diameters up to 8 mm, 10 mm, and 14 mm, the MXEvo is ideal for 2:1 halyard systems, spinnaker and gennaker control, or flying sail furlers. Its finned body design maintains rope alignment, reducing friction and wear for smoother, more efficient load management.
With working loads ranging from approximately 1040 kg to 2640 kg and breaking loads up to 6000 kg, the MXEvo Captive Pin provides exceptional reliability under demanding sailing conditions, making it a preferred choice for sailors seeking robust, maintenance-free performance.
