The all-composite T2™ is the first block with no metal shackles or rivets to corrode and is the lightest soft-attach block Harken has ever designed. Soft attachments provide a fair lead to reduce friction. The T2™ comes with a length of line that can be tied, spliced, or lashed to almost anything.
Uses:
Use for lightweight traveler controls, in mainsheet and vang systems, cascades, bridles, and more.
Materials:
Fiber-reinforced high-strength nylon-resin sideplates have no metal fasteners for the lightest block in Harken history. The attachment line is routed through the block head and sheave, reducing load on the sideplates and acting as a safety backup for your system. Composite sheave spins on ball bearings with fitted races for low-friction rolling. Soft attachments reduce weight and noise while allowing the block to articulate to align with the load.
Maintenance
The simple construction requires no lubrication. Blocks flush clean with fresh water.
