3.00" Hexa-Cats
from 1990
Hexa-cats were designed to provide powerful mainsheet tackles for catamarans which, because of their trampoline decks, are limited to a single attachment point. They soon became just as popular on offshore boats where they allow large mainsails to be sheeted without a winch. Today they are used for mainsheets, vangs, backstay adjusters and other tackles on a wide range of boats.
A Hexa-Cat consists of a Hexaratchet block with 150 Cam-Matic and 2.25" blocks mounted on top of it with a swivel. The 112 heavy duty snap shackle can be used for fast, easy removal of your Hexa-Cat.

For best results, Hexa-Cats should be matched with the proper blocks on the boom. See the chart for the correct combination.
