The T2 Ratchamatic block, with its innovative soft-attachment system and sleek T2 styling, is the newest addition to the Harken line. Its high-strength design weighs only a few ounces, thanks to the use of composite fiber-reinforced sideplates, a hardcoat-anodized aluminum sheave, and a lightweight soft-attach. With minimal moving parts in the ratcheting mechanism, this block is not only light but also durable and safe. Its load-bearing center allows for lashing or splicing, reducing the pressure on the sideplates and providing a backup safety system. Lashing or splicing also allows for easy adjustment and securing of the block at the desired height for optimal performance. A simple pressure on the line activates the ratchet, smoothly switching from free-running to ratchet mode. The T2 Ratchamatic is clearly labeled for correct reeving and trimming direction, making it suitable for mainsheet and spinnaker systems on various boats
