Harken Ratchamatic Carbo Air T2 Soft-Attach Block 57mm

Switch automatically from free-running to ratchet mode

The patented Harken Ratchamatic Carbo Air T2 Soft-Attach Block is Harken’s newest block to feature the T2 line’s style and soft-attachment system. This top-quality block only weighs a few ounces but doesn’t compromise on strength, thanks to the composite fibre-reinforced sideplates, hardcoat-anodized aluminium sheave, lightweight soft-attach and minimum moving parts in the ratcheting system.

Carbo Air All Harken Ratchamatic Carbo Air T2 Soft-Attach Blocks are lashed or spliced through the load-bearing centre of the block, decreasing the loads on the sideplates and acting as a safety backup for the system. Lashing allows ratchet adjustment close to the deck. Lashing or splicing provides a variety of options for securing the block at exactly the right height. Pressure on the line engages the ratchet mechanism, which switches seamlessly from free-running to ratchet mode. Unloaded main and jib sheets run out freely during mark roundings, and asymmetrical spinnaker sheets free instantly during jibes.

Harken Ratchamatic Carbo Air T2 Soft-Attach Blocks are also clearly labeled with high-contrast directional markers for correct reeving and trimming direction. Use it for mainsheet and spinnaker systems on beachcats, dinghies, and sportboats. Plus, you get a length of Spectra line with a polyester cover with each purchase.
