Harken 57mm Ratchamatic® Block — Swivel, Red Sheave is a high-performance, load-sensing ratchet block designed to deliver effortless trimming across a wide range of conditions. Featuring Harken’s innovative Ratchamatic® technology, this block automatically switches between free-running and ratchet modes depending on load.
Under low loads, the block rolls freely in both directions for minimal friction and easy trimming. As loads increase, the ratchet engages automatically, providing additional holding power without manual adjustment. This seamless transition makes it ideal for both light-air sailing and high-load situations.
The swivel head ensures optimal alignment under changing loads, while the lightweight Carbo construction delivers strength and durability without unnecessary weight. Perfect for mainsheets, jib sheets and control lines on dinghies, sportboats and small keelboats.
