HARKEN 9mm Loup™ — 100 mm Length, 3139

LOUPS are ready-made soft attachments that replace heavy stainless steel shackles on racing and cruising boats. Weight savings on large offshore boats can be as much as 200 lbs. (91 kg).

Designed for use with Harken Straphead blocks. A joining pin called a "Dogbone" joins the Loup to itself without taking the block apart.

Note: Special Order Only

• Strong and lightweight, Loups are constructed using multiple coils of tough Dyneema® covered with Spectra®, one of the most durable materials made
• A proprietary annealing process ensures loads are equal on all Loups
• Colored tracers on the cover specify Loup strength by indicating the number of Dyneema® coils
• Tracers serve as wear indicators - when they fade, it's time to replace
• Most Loup configurations are made by taking the block apart
• The SWLs shown are for the various ways the Loups can be utilized
• SWL is noted in a table in the choker configuration. (SWL for other configurations are substantially different. Consult Harken for those statistics.) There are at least 4 ways to use loups: choker, vertical, basket, and with the dogbone
