Harken 80mm Element Stand-Up Block
The Harken Element line introduces sideplates that combine forged aluminum and compound curves for exceptional strength in a contemporary, streamlined design. Element blocks pair the minimum amount of metal required to protect the sheave with a proven journal bearing system, delivering robust performance at significantly lower cost than premium ball-bearing alternatives.
Stand-up blocks are engineered for applications where you don't want the block to hit the deck. Use them for sheeting and halyard systems, running backstays, controls, and other high-load applications on cruising and performance sailboats. The stand-up configuration keeps the block upright and properly aligned, reducing line friction and improving efficiency on deck.
