Midrange Hexaratchet® blocks offer a holding power advantage of as much as 15:1 with a full 180° wrap, yet allow crew to ease lines instantly. The ratchet lever mechanism can turn the ratchet off in light air. Clockwise and counterclockwise ratchets are paired on spinnaker and jib sheets where ratchets must rotate in opposite directions and on/off levers need to face up. The ratchet levers are color-coded: black = clockwise rotation, white = counter-clockwise rotation.
Hexaratchet® blocks are lightweight, and strong, and run exclusively on ball bearings for fast trimming under any load. They grip loaded sheets, yet allow lines to be eased and trimmed quickly with complete control. A switch on the side engages and disengages the ratchet mechanism. The shackle can lock in either direction or can swivel to keep the line from twisting. The Harken 280 Cam Cleat reverses for up or down engagement/disengagement. The cam arms adjust to change the line angle into the cam.
