Harken 395 29mm Pivoting Block & Cam Cleat

Harken 29mm Pivoting Lead Block — Cam-Matic® Cleat is a versatile, high-performance solution designed for efficient line control and easy trimming in dynamic sailing systems. Featuring a pivoting lead block with an integrated Cam-Matic® cleat, this setup allows smooth line handling with quick, secure locking.

Commonly used for halyard controls on larger keelboats and as a “head knocker” setup on dinghies and beachcats, this block enables direct sheeting from the boom with optimal lead alignment. The pivoting base follows line movement, reducing friction and improving trimming efficiency.

The Cam-Matic® cleat can be reversed for either up or down cleating, offering flexibility to suit different rigging preferences. Designed with the same hole spacing and rivet size as Classic models, this block is an easy upgrade for existing setups. It can also be used as a becket block for additional rigging options.
