Product Description
The Harken Carbo Ratchets allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing.
Nylon resin sideplates are densely packed with long-glass fibers for a compact block with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Machined aluminum sheaves are Hardkote anodized for strength and corrosion resistance. Eight facets hold line securely. Ball bearings, sheave, and sideplates are UV-stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.
The 40 mm Harken Carbo Ratchets are ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The 2609 have on/off switches; other 40 mm ratchets are always in ratchet mode.
Use for: Main/jib/spinnaker sheets, Mainsheet fine-tune, Traveler controls, Genoa leads and Foreguys.
