Description
Harken 2.3T-15T High-Load Loop Snatch Blocks – These multipurpose blocks are a must on racing yachts of all sizes. Opening side-plates make them easy to deploy, allowing crew to quickly fasten them wherever needed—perfect for temporary leads, line deflection, and static line functions requiring small adjustments. A strop soft attach is fixed on one side but is easily removable on the other. The strop carries the block’s primary load and articulates for a fair lead. The Velcro® strap is permanently attached to one side-plate and holds the block securely closed when side-plates are aligned—even under the highest loads. The strap has a broad reflective tab for easier operation with gloves.
Harken composite bearing technology (ULC) ensures sheaves turn smoothly and maintain efficiency under extreme loading. Snap-fit Torlon® bearings carry side-loads. An integral head-spacer prevents Hard Lube anodised aluminium side-plates from deflecting and binding. The wide sheave allows a range of line diameters.
