Manuals

This Harken block is a 40 mm triple with a swivel, a becket and a cam cleat, and it has ratchet assistance for higher loads. A recessed switch can be worked from either side. The sheaves are aluminum, machined with eight facets, and the finish is hardkote anodizing. It is 4-5/16 in long, weighs 8.6 oz and carries a 900 lb safe working load, with line up to 3/16 in.

Our take

At 8.6 oz with a 900 lb SWL, this triple block packs ratchet help into a small body, and the becket and cam cleat are already on it. Maximum line is 3/16 in, so it only takes thin line.

From our buying guide

Ball-bearing blocks give the lowest friction on lines running under moderate loads. Plain bearings have more friction, but handle very high and static loads.

Check before you buy:

  • A ratchet block is rated for the full sheet load.
  • Any becket's load limit suits the job, since a becket can be rated below the block itself.
  • A soft-attach block will be looked after, since Harken warns soft attachments are prone to wear and recommends them only for regularly maintained race boats.
