Harken 40mm Automatic Ratchet T2 Block – 2159
The Harken 40mm T2 Ratchamatic represents the latest addition to Harken’s innovative T2 line, featuring sleek styling and a soft-attachment system for ease of use. Despite its high-strength construction, this block weighs only a few ounces, ensuring minimal weight added to your rigging setup.
The ratchet mechanism engages seamlessly under pressure on the line, transitioning from free-running to ratchet mode effortlessly. This allows for smooth manoeuvring during mark rounding’s and jibes, with unloaded main and jib sheets and asymmetrical spinnaker sheets running out freely. Additionally, T2 Ratchamatic blocks are equipped with high-contrast directional markers for easy reeving and trimming direction identification.
Ideal for mainsheet and spinnaker systems on beach cats, dinghies, and sport boats, this block comes complete with a length of Spectra® line with a polyester cover.
