Harken 2608 Carbo Rachet Block 40mm allows sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing. Ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The nylon-resin side plates of the Harken block are densely packed with long-glass fibers for a compact block with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum sheaves are Hardkote anodized for strength and corrosion resistance. Eight facets hold line securely. Ball bearings, side plates, and sheave are UV-stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.
