Harken 75 mm Aluminum ESP Fiddle Block, Swivel, Becket, Cam Cleat – 6099

A fiddle block with a becket and cam cleat, built for 3:1 and 4:1 mainsheet and vang tackles on cruising boats. ESP is Harken's simpler cruising line: sleeve bearings instead of ball bearings, made to sit under high static load.

Key features

• Sleeve bearings: smooth and strong under the high static loads of cruising mainsheets and vangs
• Swivel head lines the block up with the load
• Becket and cam cleat built in
• Aluminum sideplates

Specifications

Works with

Pair it with an ESP single or double block with becket to make a 3:1 or 4:1 tackle. Takes lines up to 19 mm (3/4 in).

Sailor's take

The right block for a cruising mainsheet or vang where loads are high but trimming is slow. Racers who trim constantly under load should look at Harken's ball-bearing Carbo or Black Magic blocks. Tip: check that the cam angle suits where you'll stand to trim before you drill anything.
