40mm Harken Carbo T2 Ratchet Block

The Harken 40 mm Carbo T2 ratchet block combines T2 soft-attach construction with a load-sensing ratchet (Harken: T2 Soft-Attach Ratchamatic®). There is no on/off switch: pressure on the line engages the ratchet automatically, and unloaded sheets run out freely at mark roundings. It has no metal shackles or rivets and is tied, lashed or spliced in place – a length of Spectra® line is included. At 25 g it is very light and suits systems where small blocks are needed.
