The High-Tech performance polymeren Equiplite® hybride plain bearings VHLi™.

Coefficients of Friction and Surfaces.

Sometimes answering technical questions in a meeting and not coming up with the center/ our hard of the block. The difference between a sliding bearing and a ceramic ball bearing. The friction coefficient is now only 6%.

As a good example if you have an travler car (VO 65) 8T MWL block | In a position that is trimmed 24/7, you will feel the difference of the 6% friction from the plain bearing.

This comes as an example that there is up to say 8 max 12 knots of wind and a very low load to move the Traveler car. BUT the cover is there. As the loads increase you will see that 6% friction shoot down immediately. the difference than of the sliding bearing and a ball bearing can be neglected.

Sailers conclusion:
For racing yachts (VO 65/ open 60/ TP52 ) and than for the position traveler car/ main sheet use the ball-bearing. For all other positions the polymeren hybride plain bearings VHLi™.

Because; the friction coefficient is so little, the advantages are so great to have sliding bearing standard everywhere.

+ More durable, less wear and tear to equipment, extending equipment lifetimes and lowering significant maintenance costs
+ Weight reduction of at least 60%
+ Very high loads
+ 60% compact hardware
+ The bearing utilize advanced high load low
friction polymer bearing technology, giving unparalled loaded bearing
efficiency of at least 94% . (with dry operation, without need for
lubrication). Snatch blocks have unmatched impact and wear resistance

The Ocean Race (formerly the Whitbread Round the World Race and Volvo Ocean Race) is a sailing race around the world held every three years. The race is made up of stages and lasts 8 to 9 months. The first edition started in 1973. With the Olympic Games and the America's Cup, The Ocean Race is one of the largest sailing events in the world. It is considered the toughest sailing competition for teams
