2023 SUPPLEMENT USE WITH 2022 CATALOG

Welcome to the 2023 Harken Marine Catalog Supplement The past two years have been such a challenge for so many, we wonder if sailors have even had time to notice some of the new equipment that’s been introduced. In the spirit of taking nothing for granted, we’re using this 2023 product supplement as a bit of a reprise. Inside you’ll find brand new products. You’ll also see products we’ve launched since 2020 along with early reaction from folks who have had experience using them. We hope you find their impressions helpful. Here are a couple other reminders: you can download the most...

Small Boat 40 mm Flip-Flop Blocks Block pivots around the line axis to keep line entry height low. Harken expanded the 57 and 75 mm small boat flip-flop blocks line to include the 40 mm size. Made to pivot around the line axis, Carbo Flip-Flop blocks are ideal for keeping line close to the deck. The hinged construction allows for a variety of lead angles and strengthened bases offer sailors confidence knowing it won’t break under pressure. The sheaves run on a ball bearing system for fast trim and release under any load, and the blocks are UV-stabilized for maximum protection. All 57 mm and...

EASE WHEN YOU NEED IT. "A few of us started incorporating the Zircon bearings with the development of the GP mainsheet system on the Nacra 17 ahead of the Rio games. We’ve tested systems that were rigged with 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, even up to 14:1 purchases, which we now use on the A-Cat class. Even in light air it is still possible to ease sheets effectively. We used the commercial version of that system at the Enoshima Olympics. Since then, I’ve been using single sheave Zircon prototypes on my Exploder A-Cat and Bieker Moth. I move the test blocks around with me! I find you’re much better...

Zircon Blocks The core of the new Zircon blocks are industrial ceramic ball bearings mounted inside caged races. The cages keep these bearings apart so they don’t bunch up, touch, and stop each other. The result is a VERY free-running block with less energy lost to friction than in even our current Carbo blocks. Give an unrigged Zircon block a strong spin, and it spins an incredibly long time. Each ceramic ball is much more expensive than any other material we’ve used. So, to keep the block from getting crazy pricy, Zircon blocks employ seven balls, a fraction of what our other blocks use....

45 mm Black Magic Blocks The original Harken Black Magic Air blocks have earned their status as the performance standard among professionals who specify equipment for race and performance cruising boats. This year, we’re offering the same serviceable, machined aluminum, caged roller performance in 45 mm sheave sizes. These blocks make Black Magic the appropriate choice for lines that are adjusted often while under load: sheets, guys, halyards, runners, etc., on smaller boats. Performance figures unavailable at press time. Please consult the Harken website before purchasing. Part No. 3389...

25 mm T-Track Genoa Lead Cars We get it. Not everyone has Harken track. That’s why we made an aftermarket 25 mm T-Track pinstop car. Using this car in place of an existing genoa lead car provides ease of adjustment without the hassle and expense of replacing existing track. T-Track cars have an integral pinstop to lock the car into position. Note: T-Track genoa lead cars cannot be adjusted under load.

Harken Vang-Master WATCH HARKEN VANG-MASTER VIDEO Harken Vang-Master is squeak-free. Living proof: the rigid vang that’s easier to live with, is also easier to specify, rig, and buy.

“We have a Melges 32 turboed primarily for offshore racing with a longer sprit and extended main roach. That larger main, coupled with a Harken Vang-Master and Battcar system, gives us safe and predictable boom and reefing controls for any blasting downwind offshore race.” — Jason Bemis Owner, “Peerless” Sheboygan, WI USA Description Vang-Master 1 Vang-Master 2 Vang-Master 3 Vang-Master 4 Vang-Master 5 Vang-Master 6 Vang-Master 7 Vang-Master 8
