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 have aluminum side plates, titanium sheaves, and captive titanium roller bearings. It is available with either 3D-molded carbon or anodized aluminum side plates. V blocks are easy to disassemble for inspection and maintenance. Wide sheave accepts multiple lines for sail changes or a single, high-load larger line that requires a small deflection.
