Harken 2608 40mm Single Carbo Airblock Ratchet Block

Sale price$69.95 Regular price$79.45

HARKEN 2608 

Single Carbo Ratchet Block - 40mm

Carbo Ratchets allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing.

Nylon-resin side plates are densely packed with long-glass fibers for a compact block with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Machined aluminum sheaves are Hard Lube-anodized for strength and corrosion resistance. Eight facets hold line securely. Ball bearings, sheave and sideplates are UV-stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.

40mm
The 40mm ratchets are ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The 2608 have on/off switches.

For the ultimate system, mount a switchable ratchet in the cockpit and a boom-mounted Ratchamatic® directly above to allow double holding power in heavy air and to ensure a free-running mainsheet in light air.

Use for:
  • Main / jib / spinnaker sheets
  • Mainsheet fine-tune
  • Traveler controls
  • Genoa leads
  • Foreguys
  • Vangs
