This Harken Carbo Ratchamatic HTE block 57 mm with 2x grip is an automatic load-sensing ratchet block for effective line control on board.
The block free-runs in both directions at low loads and automatically engages the ratchet function at higher loads. The HTE version has a later engagement point than standard Ratchamatic blocks, providing longer free-running.
With 2x grip, the block provides high holding power and is suitable for sailing where precise control and reduced strain on the hands are important.
