The Harken 2652 is a 40 mm stand-up Carbo block. It is built from fiber-reinforced composite that is lightweight, strong and reliable. The block runs on ball bearings, and the sheave and sideplates are UV-stabilized. Harken lists it for main and jib sheets as well as control lines.
Our take
Fiber-reinforced composite construction on this 40 mm stand-up block keeps it lightweight, and the ball bearings let it turn freely under main or jib sheet loads. The UV-stabilized sheave and sideplates mean sun exposure has been allowed for.
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.
