For several years we’ve been using the theme line AT THE FRONT. In the beginning, those words were written to make a commitment: Harken products will exceed the challenges of the biggest moments in our sport. Over time, we’ve learned a little more about those moments. They don’t always lead to the podium. This year we launched a photo contest in the USA, designed so customers could show us images of their AT THE FRONT sailing moments. You can see several of the most compelling of those on the cover and on the adjacent page of this catalog. They’re wonderful. Looking at the submissions,...

Harken Materials & Properties Aluminum 6061-T6: alloy that has excellent corrosion resistance to air and salt water. It is an easily welded, tough alloy that responds well to anodizing. 7075-T6: the strongest aluminum alloy with strength comparable to many steels. Harken uses 7075-T6 in its Grand Prix cylinders which are built to handle extremely high loads at minimal weight. A vigorous maintenance schedule is required when using this alloy, because corrosion resistance is lower than 6061-T6. Available in hardcoat or clear-anodized finishes. Bearings Bearing properties are functions of...

Harken Materials & Properties Clear-Anodized Clear aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process that produces a corrosionresistant finish. It also hardens the surface, making components less prone to scratches and dents. It is “clear” because the protective layer isn’t thick enough to change the color of the component (though dye can be added). More rigorous anodizing, such as hardcoat, can give components a black or colored hue. Delrin® Acetal Resin Hardcoat aluminum anodizing is an electrochemical process that produces a corrosion-resistant finish with hardness characteristics second...

Carbo T2 Soft-Attach Blocks Harken offers these patented, high-strength, soft-attach blocks in 29 to 57 mm sizes. They feature composite sheaves that spin freely on Delrin® ball bearings with curved bearing races. They have no metal shackles or rivets, making them the lightest soft-attach blocks Harken has ever designed. All T2 blocks are lashed or spliced through the load-bearing center of the block, decreasing the loads on the sideplates and acting as a safety backup for the system. T2 Blocks T2 blocks come in single and double configurations and can be tied, spliced, or lashed to almost...

About Carbo Air blocks: see feature page at beginning of this section. Doubles and triples feature U-Locks to hold the swivel in front/side position, or to let it spin freely. Use as becket block without the additional height of a becket. High-strength pivoting lead blocks with cams are used for halyard controls on larger keelboats and as “headknockers” on dinghies and beachcats for sheeting directly from the boom. Hole spacing and rivet size are the same as Classic models, making upgrades easy. Cam reverses for either up or down cleating. Sheave Shackle pin Max line Maximum Breaking Part 0...
