Harken 57mm T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic Block

Harken 57mm T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic Block

The patent-pending T2 Rathcamatic is Harken's newest block to feture the T2 line's styling and soft-attachment system.
The weight of this high-strength block is only a few ounces. This is thanks to composite fibre-reinforced side plates, hard coat-anodized aluminium sheave, 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 centre of the block, decreasing the loads on the side plates and acting as a safety backup for the system. Lashing allows ratchet adjustment close to the deck. Lashing or splicing procides a variety of options for securing the block at exactly the right height to maintain a fairlead.
Pressure on the line engages the ratchet mechanism, which switches seamlessly from free running to rathet mode. Unloaded main and jib sheets run out freely during mark rounding, and asymmetrical spinnaker sheets free instantly during gybes. T2 Ratchamatic blocks are clearly labelled with high-contrast directional markers for correct reeving and trimming direction.
Use for mainsheet and spinnaker systems on beachcats, dinghies and sportsboats.
A length of spectra line with a polyester cover is included.
