Harken HK2160 Block T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic 57mm

The Harken HK2160 Block T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic 57mm is a key addition to the T2 range, offering exceptional functionality and durability. Its patent-pending design integrates seamlessly with the T2 family’s soft-attach system, providing maximum versatility and ease of use.

This compact block is constructed with composite fiber-reinforced sideplates and features a hardcoat-anodized aluminum sheave for enhanced strength and durability. The lightweight construction and innovative soft-attach system allow for effortless installation and secure operation, making it ideal for use in mainsheet and spinnaker systems on beachcats, dinghies, and sportboats.

One of the standout features of the HK2160 is its ratcheting mechanism, which automatically engages when pressure is applied to the line. This mechanism facilitates smooth transitions between free-running and ratcheting modes, ensuring excellent control during maneuvers such as mark roundings and jibes. The high-contrast directional indicators ensure correct reeving and trimming orientation, further enhancing the block’s usability.

The block can be secured via lashing or splicing through the load-bearing center, reducing stress on the sideplates and offering a redundant safety feature for the entire system. This flexibility enables sailors to adjust the block's height easily to optimize lead angles.

The HK2160 comes with a length of Spectra line with a durable polyester cover, ensuring optimal performance even in demanding conditions. Its compact design makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of small to medium-sized watercraft.
