Harken Carbo Ratchamatic HTE 57mm, 1.5x Grip

The Harken Carbo Ratchamatic HTE 57 mm with 1.5x Grip (Power3) was developed specifically for gusty, strong winds. At low load it runs freely in both directions, and as load builds the ratchet engages automatically. The titanium-anodised aluminium sheave gives a 15:1 holding ratio – with 150 kg on the sheet you still hold just 10 kg.

Features

• HTE (high-threshold engage): stiffer spring, so the block runs free for longer and the ratchet engages only at higher load
• Clean, seamless transition from ratchet to light-air mode
• Engagement load quickly and easily adjustable
• Titanium-anodised aluminium sheave
• Sideplates in high-strength, lightweight Carbo composite
• 1.5x Grip: for building breeze and puffs
• The ratchet engages only at higher load, so the old kite sheet runs free for cleaner gybes
