Harken High-Load Snatch Blocks - A Must in Every Yacht's Inventory

These multipurpose blocks are a must on racing yachts of all sizes. Sideplates are quick to open and then lock solidly into place with a comforting metallic click, allowing crew to quickly fasten them wherever needed - perfect for temporary leads, line deflection, and static line functions requiring small adjustments. A fixed loop soft-attach carries the block's primary load. The captured Velcro® strap holds the block securely closed when sideplates are aligned under the highest loads. Its broad reflector tab makes the strap easier to use than ever-even at night and while wearing gloves.

"We listened to our customers, on what it would take to design the ideal snatch block," - says Corinne Rich, Harken Custom Sales Manager. "They wanted a block that was small and compact, with a fixed loop and adjustable Velcro strap permanently attached at one end that could handle extreme loads with a minimum of friction. And here it is!"

Harken composite bearing technology (ULC) ensures sheaves turn smoothly and maintain efficiency under extreme loading. Snap-fit Torlon® bearings handle sideloads. An integral headspacer prevents Hard Lube-anodized aluminum sideplates from deflecting and binding the wide sheave.

Maximum working loads from 2.3 - 15T. Line diameters from 11 - 26 mm.
