HARKEN 45mm Black Magic® AirBlock, Single Loop Block
Complete Your Purchase
The Harken 45 mm Aluminum Loop Block (Part No. 3389) is part of the Black Magic Air series, a top choice for big-boat performance racers and cruisers who demand low-friction, high-load control. Engineered for sail-control systems that see constant, heavy use—mainsheet, runner, halyard, and spinnaker—this single block delivers free-running performance with minimal weight. A precision center cage keeps the Torlon® roller bearings separated and parallel, dramatically reducing friction so lines run smoothly under load. The sheave center carries the primary load, which allows Harken to build a smaller, lighter block without sacrificing strength. The soft-attachment loop design features a removable deadend post for direct attachment to a padeye, and lashings can be used as an alternative rigging method for a clean, low-profile installation.
