The Carbo Ratchamatic is a load-sensing ratchet block designed for optimal performance in varying wind conditions. It rolls freely in both directions under low loads and automatically engages the ratchet as loads increase. Shifting between ratchet and light-air modes is seamless. The HTE (high-threshold engage) version of the 57 mm block features a stiffer spring to delay ratchet engagement, allowing the block to run free more often. This design enables the ratchet to engage at higher loads, facilitating freer movement of the kite sheet for crisper gybes.
