Quick Overview
Low-friction Carbo AirBlocks from Harken are lightweight, strong, reliable and affordable. These compact Ti-Lite blocks are extremely versatile allowing partial swivelling and the easy addition of a becket where required.
Sideplates of high strength resin are UV stabilised to provide excellent protection against long term exposure to saltwater and sun. Carbo AirBlocks are 60% stronger and 30% lighter than our classic blocks making them perfect for the smaller diameter lines favoured by racers.
The high load 57mm Carbo has a broad working range. Use for main and jibsheets on centreboard and keelboat like lighnings, dragons, solings and j24's and for mainsheet systems on catamarans. The 75mm Carbo easily releases under load and is perfect for mainsheet systems on boats like the Melges 24, J/105 and Henderson 30.
