Harken 20T Aluminum Vâ„¢ Block
The V block delivers another breakthrough in Harken's loop block series for Grand-Prix racers. Harken engineers have simplified the mechanics by combining the axial and thrust bearings into a single bearing set of V-shaped titanium rollers. The result is a strong, lightweight block that offers unmatched efficiency at high loads, while spinning freely at low loads for smooth easing in light air.
Harken V blocks feature aluminum sideplates, a titanium sheave, and captive titanium roller bearings. These blocks are designed for easy disassembly for inspection and maintenance, making them ideal for racing applications where peak performance and reliability are essential. The V block's innovative design minimizes friction across a wide range of load conditions, allowing crews to manage lines smoothly whether the boat is under heavy load or sailing in light conditions.
