Harken 57mm T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic – Block

The patent-pending T2 Ratchamatic is Harkens newest block to feature the T2 lines styling and soft-attachment system.The weight of this high-strength block is only a few ounces. This is thanks to composite fibre-reinforced sideplates, hardcoat-anodized aluminiumsheave, a lightweight soft-attach, and a minimum of moving parts in the ratcheting mechanism.All T2 blocks are lashed or spliced through the load-bearing center of the block, decreasing the loads on the sideplates and acting as a safety backup for the system. Lashing allows ratchet adjustment close to the deck. Lashing or splicing provides a variety of options for securing the block at exactly the right height to maintain a fair lead.Pressure on the line engages the ratchet mechanism, which switches seamlessly from free-running to ratchet mode. Unloaded main and jib sheets run out freely during mark roundings, and asymmetrical spinnaker sheets free instantly during jibes. T2 Ratchamatic blocks are clearly labelledwith high-contrast directional markers for correct reeving and trimming direction.Use for main sheetand spinnaker systems on beach cats, dinghies, and sport boats.A length of Spectra line with a polyester cover is included.Spectra is a registered trademark of Honeywell International, Inc.Part NumberSheave DiameterMax.
