HARKEN Zircon Catamaran Mainsheet System
This compact Zircon ceramic bearing mainsheet system represents a collaborative breakthrough in high-performance sailing hardware. The previous generation GP mainsheet system became the standard among top-level catamaran sailors worldwide. These elite sailors challenged Harken to deliver the same exceptional performance in a lighter, more compact package. The result: a system that shrinks everything except capability.
At the heart of the system are new 40mm Zircon sheaves that reduce aero-disruption by 30% compared to previous designs, while clearing the tiller more easily. The industrial ceramic ball bearings are mounted inside caged races that keep bearings separated so they never bunch, touch, or stop each other—delivering the most efficient small-boat block performance Harken has engineered.
