Carbo AirBlocks® Strong and Compact Low-friction Carbo AirBlocks® are lightweight, strong, reliable—and affordable. These small compact blocks have very high working loads, making trimming safe and easy no matter how hard the wind blows. Composite sideplates are UV stabilized for no-fade protection against salt water and sun. Carbo blocks are perfect for the small-diameter lines favored by racers.

High-Strength Composite

Lightweight nylon-resin sideplates have densely-packed, glass fibers to reinforce resin for strength.

Load Carrying Curved Bearing Races

High-load ball bearings roll smoothly on curved bearing races. Grooved races increase ball-to-race contact for greater load capacity.

Details Make the Difference Lightweight, Strong Design

Blocks are 30% lighter with a 60% higher working load than Classic blocks. Open AirBlock® design eliminates unnecessary material and weight.

LONG-LASTING PROTECTION

Ball bearings, sheave, and sideplates are UV stabilized with carbon black for maximum protection.

Three-Way Cam-Lock

Patented switch locks shackle in front or side positions, or lets block swivel to keep line from twisting.

DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension.

OUR LIGHTEST S O F T - A T T A C H

A L L - C O M P O S I T E N O M E TA L T2™ blocks are the first blocks made entirely of high-strength composite material—no shackles, fasteners, or rivets. This tough new line of softattach Carbos is our lightest and will never corrode. One style T2 uses a loop, the other a length of line. Both route the attachment line through the block head and sheave, reducing load on the sideplates, acting as a safety backup for your system.

Carbo T2™ Soft-Attach Blocks

The high-strength composite T2™ is the first block with no metal shackles or rivets and is the lightest soft-attach block Harken has ever designed. T2 blocks come in two styles. One uses a loop, the other a length of line. Both methods route the attachment line through the block head and sheave, decreasing the load on the sideplates and acting as a backup for the system. Soft attachments articulate to align with the load for a fair lead, reducing friction.

T2™ with open center Line ties, splices, or lashes to almost anything: cascades, bridles, traveler controls.

The composite sheave spins on ball bearings with curved bearing races for low-friction rolling. Composite sideplates are fiber-reinforced, high-strength nylon resin. Ball bearings, sheave, and sideplates are UV-stabilized for maximum lifespan.

T2 Loop

No knots, splices, or tools are needed. Just slide the loop through the block head and over the anchor post for a secure connection. T2 Loops come in 40 mm and 57 mm single sizes. A SK75 Dyneema® loop is included. Replacement loops available.

T2 Loop™ with anchor post Loops on anchor post for easy installation. No knots, splices, or tools needed.

The T2 can be tied, spliced, or lashed to almost anything. Use for traveler controls, mainsheet and vang systems, cascades, bridles, and more. The T2 comes in 29, 40, and 57 mm sizes. A length of line is included.

Carbo Ratchets

Carbo Ratchets allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing. Eight facets hold line securely. 2608 2135 2670

40 mm

The 40 mm ratchets are ideal for jib sheets and spinnakers where size and weight are critical. The 2608, 2609, and 2614 have on/off switches; other 40 mm ratchets are always in ratchet mode.

On/off switch operates from both sides

57 mm and 75 mm

The 57 mm and 75 mm switchable ratchets provide precise on/off control with accessible, easy-to-operate on/off switches on both sides of the block. For the ultimate system, mount a switchable ratchet in the cockpit and a boom-mounted Ratchamatic® directly above for double holding power in heavy air and a free-running mainsheet when it’s light. The 75 mm provides up to 15:1 holding power; the 57mm 10:1.

Q&A

I sail with my son on a Rhodes 19 and he has trouble trimming the mainsheet when the wind picks up. Any suggestions?

2619

2613

2612

2140

A Carbo ratchet block would increase the mainsheet load your son could handle by as much as 15:1. For example, a Harken ratchet could stop an unanticipated gust from yanking the line through his hands, allowing him to release and then retrim the sheet under complete control.

Gotta Love It 7, 18-Foot Skiff, Iain Murray, Van Munster Boats — Luca Villata photo

Carbo Ratchamatics® Automatic Holding Power Is my ratchet on or off? The Ratchamatic® is a load-sensing block that gives racers one less thing to think about. It automatically engages the ratchet when a preset load is reached and turns off instantly when jibing an asymmetrical or easing the mainsheet at the weather mark. A perfect block for sport boats and dinghies where the skipper can hand-hold the sheet, ready for instant adjustment.

High-Strength Material

Lightweight nylon-resin sideplates have densely-packed, glass fibers to reinforce resin for strength.

ADJUSTABLE RATCHET ENGAGEMENT

Ratchet adjusts to engage at a higher or lower load using an Allen wrench. Fine-tune ratchet to suit sailor’s strength, sailing style, or block application.

Details Make the Difference AUTOMATIC LOAD-SENSING RATCHET

A spring-loaded cassette in the sheave automatically engages the ratchet pawl as loads increase. When eased, the ratchet automatically disengages allowing unloaded sheets to run out instantly during mark roundings and jibes. Sheave rolls freely in both directions under low loads like a non ratcheting block. Block shifts between light air and ratchet mode seamlessly.

POWER-GRIP EIGHT-FACETED SHEAVE

Eight-faceted solid aluminum sheave holds line securely. Holding power of 57 mm is up to 10:1 with 180-degree wrap. The 75 mm up to 15:1 with 180-degree wrap. Hardkote anodized, Teflon®-impregnated for strength and corrosion resistance.

DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension.

Carbo Ratchamatic®

The Carbo Ratchamatic® is a load-sensing ratchet block that rolls freely in both directions under low loads and automatically engages the ratchet as loads increase. Shifting between ratchet and light-air modes is seamless. Unloaded main and jib sheets run out freely during mark roundings and asymmetrical spinnakers free instantly during jibes.

2625 2680

Ratchet engagement may be adjusted to a higher or lower load according to strength and sailing style. The Ratchamatic® cheek block mounts on either port or starboard. The holding power of the 57 mm is as high as 10:1. The 75 mm is up to 15:1.

Adjustable ratchet engagement adapts block to a variety of applications

For the ultimate system, mount a Ratchamatic® on the boom above a cockpit-mounted switchable ratchet to allow the mainsheet to run freely in light air and to double holding power in heavy air. Use the 2634 with a 402 or 403 swivel arm for a versatile two-speed mainsheet system. 2628 2684

Small Boat 57 & 75 mm Flip-Flop Blocks

Small Boat Flip-Flop blocks pivot around the line axis to keep line close to the deck. Hinged construction allows for various lead angles. Ratchamatic® versions roll freely in both directions under low loads and automatically engage a ratchet mechanism as loads increase, giving sailors a holding power of up to 15:1. The ratchet engagement can be adjusted to a higher or lower load depending on the sailor’s strength, sailing style and system usage. Reversible cam arms adjust and lock in a wide range of positions for crew accessibility and to accommodation of changing lead angles. Block pivots around the line axis to keep line entry height low

Few one-design classes are a better test of a sailor’s tactical skills, boathandling acumen and physical fitness than the Laser. For the past four years, Australian Tom Slingsby, (currently 26), has dominated this class, winning the Worlds in 2007, 2008, and 2010. Despite a disappointing 2008 Olympic showing (22nd place) and a rocky 2009 Laser Worlds (17th place) that almost spelled his departure from competitive sailing, Slingsby is back in fine form, winning both the 2010 Etchells Worlds as crew aboard Cup legend John Bertrand’s boat, and—just two weeks later—the 2010 Laser Worlds. Moreover, Slingsby’s dual World Championship titles earned him the coveted 2010 ISAF Rolex Sailor of the Year Award.

by David Schmidt / Alembic Media, LLC How crucial is physical fitness at the upper echelons of Laser racing? Physical fitness is extremely important in Laser sailing. Being able to sail the boat at one-hundred percent at the end of a long, windy day is often the difference between winning an event or losing it. What’s a typical day of training for you? I get up, go for a road-bike ride—usually for one to two hours— and then have lunch. Afterwards, I go sailing for about three hours, have a small rest, and then go to the gym for an hour or two hours. Then, it’s dinner and bed. What’s more important to sailing fast—cardio or strength training? Both cardio and strength training are really important but it all depends on your class of boat. For Laser sailing, I would put cardio slightly higher than strength training, but for a boat like the Finn, I’d put strength training as being the slightly more important of the two. What percentage of your training time do you spend actually sailing, versus cardio/strength training? I would probably say 50/50, or if anything maybe 60/40, leaning towards more fitness training.

What do you think is the most effective exercise for Laser sailing? Cycling. It’s an excellent cardio workout and it strengthens the more important muscles needed for Laser sailing, which are your legs. Do you alter your body weight for regattas? Yeah, I do a bit of that but I’m not paranoid about it. I find that 82 kilograms [180 pounds] is a good weight for me to perform well in all wind and sea conditions. I usually weigh around 86 kilos [190 pounds] when I’m having a bit of time off, so it’s a little dip in weight but a comfortable one. In China at the 2008 Olympics I got down to 74 kilos [163 pounds] for a light-wind week and I ended up sailing very poorly, so now I just stay at a weight that’s manageable and where I’m happy. Do you train differently for different areas? If so, can you give me some examples? I do modify my training a little for the different venues. If my coach and I feel it will be a predominately light-air event, I will mainly work on my light-wind technique and on my feel on the boat. If we think it will be windy, I work hard on my fitness and make sure that I’m exhausted by the time I finish each of my training sessions.

SPEEDTEAM SPOTLIGHT

Tom’s Training Tips Cross-Training

To reach peak sailing fitness, Slingsby typically spends equal time training ashore as he spends sailing, covering both cardioand strength-building exercises. His program includes heavy doses of cycling, windsurfing, golf, martial arts, and trips to the gym. “These are things that I enjoy doing, even if there wasn’t a fitness benefit,” says Slingsby, “so for me it’s a bonus that doing [these sports] keeps me fit for sailing. The important bit is to find other sports that you like doing so that getting fit doesn’t feel like a chore.”

LASER® BALL BEARING MAINSHEET BLOCKS Class-legal smooth-running blocks for fast maneuvers

Targeted Exercises

• Low-friction ball bearing technology for instant easing

“I think you have to work on what you’re weaknesses are. For example, if your weakness is fitness, make that your priority [before a big regatta] but don’t overkill,” says Slingsby. “If it’s on-the-water training that’s lacking, increase your time out there but don’t do so much that you have to drag yourself to train.” For example, if you find yourself getting tired after hiking hard in a long breeze, mix in more cycling and add in some corestrengthening exercises.

• Resilient Carbo composite • Tough traveler block joint connection means you’ll never tape your blocks again

Nutrition

Making weight is an inevitable part of sailing, but Slingsby cautions that it’s faster to sail at a weight where you feel good, rather than trying to chase a particular number. “It’s important to listen to your body. If you’re told to eat certain things while training but you don’t feel they’re working, then stop. You know your body [better] than anyone.”

15:1 Vang & Cunningham System

Lastly…

“My secret has always been that I love being fit, and I love sailing and competing, so I don’t get burned out. However, if I’ve done too much [training], I make sure I get some rest.”

Powerful 15:1 Laser® Vang is a must have • Compact, high-load sheaves for smoother and faster mark roundings • Cam arms pivot from a fixed height • Easy to cleat and uncleat while hiking

Do you worry much about going out for pints with your mates, or is that stuff off limits when you’re training? No, not really. What most people don’t understand is that sailing at the top level is probably 50-percent psychological. All the good teams have all the skills and it will come down to the team who can perform on the [regatta] days. I find that I compete well when I’m happy and not stressed out, so going for a beer or two with my mates every now and then relaxes me. From a physical training perspective, how useful is it to race in other classes, besides the Laser? I find it pretty beneficial. When I race Moths, most of my mates talk about how much their legs hurt from hiking. I actually don’t even feel my legs when I sail my Moth, even though it’s a class where hiking is important; rather, I find my cardio isn’t quite up to scratch. Each class of boat—even if they look similar— requires different muscles to work harder in certain situations. Also, each class requires a different percentage of strength-tocardio performance. I love racing different boats because I learn a lot about these differences and I find that my overall fitness improves in different areas.

Exit Blocks

Pivoting exit blocks with cams are often used for halyard controls and as “head knockers” for sheeting directly from the boom. The 140 has a high maximum working load and is designed for spar-mounted halyards and control lines. The 141 is also ideal for control lines. Use for: Outhauls Traveler controls Vangs Cunninghams

Dinghy Vang System

The Dinghy Vang comes pre-reeved with low-stretch polyester line. It is constructed with a 3:1 cascade inside a 5:1 purchase for a powerful 15:1 system. 16 mm blocks handle high loads. A Micro Carbo-Cam® allows precise trimming; it’s easy to cleat because it pivots for a fair lead and angles up and down to accommodate different mounting heights. The Dinghy Vang has a maximum mast-to-boom distance of 30 in (760 mm). A simple line adjustment shortens the system.

Stainless steel vang housing has lightening holes to minimize weight. Stainless steel mast bracket fits most masts

Harken® ball bearing cam cleats hold lines securely and release instantly for easy, precise trimming. With a downward flick of the wrist, the sheet snaps into the cam— and stays exactly where you want it. Pull up and the cleat immediately releases—even under the highest loads. Smooth teeth grip line of all sizes including the small diameter hard line preferred by racers.

Versatile Cam Shape

Cam design allows each line size to be held by the most teeth for superior holding power.

Details Make the Difference Easy-Open Ball Bearing Cams

Multiple rows of high-load ball bearings reduce friction so cams open easily for snap-down, rather than draw-through cleating. The cam horns and smooth V-shape guide line for easy entry. This allows precise sail control without having to readjust the cleated line.

Accessories

Accessories include flairleads, fairleads, adapter plate, wedge kits, risers, bases and color-coded cam caps.

The Teflon® surface of the aluminum Cam-Matic® improves the cleat’s fast line engagement. The Cam-Matic® is the only cleat that will engage under maximum line tension.

Protective Tooth Design

Rounded teeth hold securely by squeezing rather than cutting into line to reduce wear.

High-Wear or Lightweight Models

Aluminum Cam-Matics® are Hardkote-anodized for high-load, high-wear, continuous adjustment applications. Lightweight fiber-reinforced Carbo-Cams® for racing where weight is critical, or where adjustments are less frequent.

Long-Lasting Protection

Ball bearings and Carbo-Cams® UV-stabilized with carbonblack additive for maximum protection. DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension.

Cam Cleat Accessories

Use these accessories to adapt our cleats for many applications, such as cleaning up your cockpit controls with color-coding or leading a line cleanly to a cleat. Wire fairleads maintain a low profile while holding the line close to the cleat. The X-Treme Angle Fairlead allows releasing and recleating at angles up to 90° to the cleat. This sets it apart from other fairleads where line uncleats at extreme angles and can’t recleat without centering the line. The low-friction stainless bail provides a bulletproof turning point. Perfect for traveler and cabintop controls or deck cleats—a must for the new Laser® deck cleating system.

Cleat and uncleat at angles up to 90 degrees Stainless steel loop provides low-friction turning post

Low-profile, top-mounted flairleads can also be used to guide lines. They feature stainless wearguards and are available in various colors for color-coding your cams. We offer a wide range of eyestraps to hold line at the cleat and to provide fair leads.

Base plate ensures optimal cleating height Ideal for Laser® outhaul/ cunningham controls

Cam Bases

Use cam swivel bases when leads must rotate to face the trimmer. Ball bearing swivel bases feature dual rows of Delrin® ball bearings that swivel freely even under high loads. Bases include stand-up springs and a U-adaptor to accept a variety of appropriate blocks.

144 205

The 144 is the standard configuration with a tall arm. It is ideal for mounting in the cockpit or for use on larger keelboats and small offshore boats that use 3.00 in (76 mm) plastic blocks. The lowprofile 205 is used when installation is at deck level and when smaller blocks are used.

Cam-Matic® ball bearing cam cleats Swivels freely under load Stops on base prevent swivel from over-rotating and fouling line

The 216 features a second cleat for lines led vertically through the base of the swivel. It is frequently used to combine vang or backstay controls in the same swivel base that handles the mainsheet.

462

The 240 and 241 are simple swivel bases for main and jib sheets on very small boats or for control lines on boats of all sizes. The 402 and 403 are fitted with a double cam for use in two-speed mainsheet systems. The 462 swivel base with 338 Micro Cam-Matic® provides precise cleating. The 16 mm sheaves feature low-friction stainless steel ball bearings to handle high loads. Ideal for controls where cleating angles change dramatically. Use for: Mainsheets Jib sheets Control lines

Stand-Up Bases

Stand-up bases allow a wide variety of blocks to be held upright, swivel freely, or pivot so lines have a fair lead under load.

Ball-and-Socket Swivel Bases

The ball-and-socket design lets blocks articulate up to 45 degrees and swivel freely. The 460 and 461 bases (high-load versions of the 010 and 029) have stainless steel reinforcement plates to handle the high load capacities of 57 mm and 75 mm Carbo blocks. Bases may be fitted with springs, but blocks won’t hit the deck without them.

Springs

Springs support blocks on padeyes, eyestraps, bases, and traveler cars, and prevent blocks from hitting the deck.

Stand-Up Boots

Made of durable, flexible PVC, stand-up boots hold blocks up without snagging lines. The 369 fits 40 mm and 57 mm Carbo and Black Magic® blocks. The 370 fits 75 mm Carbo blocks.

Stainless Steel Shackles Forged

The stainless steel shackles we use on Harken® blocks are available separately. We have increased the range in both configurations and sizes.

Number on shackle denotes screw diameter in millimeters.

Stamped Shackles

The 072, 138, and 246 shackles are used on most of the Small Boat blocks. They are also useful for a wide range of other applications.

80% B

Snap Shackles

The breaking strengths shown are derived from tests that supported 80% of the length of the screw pin that is unsupported, which is similar to the area of a post in a block. Safe working loads are no more than half the minimum breaking strength.

The 111, 112, and 1584 snap shackles fit a wide variety of blocks and make them removable. Many use a snap shackle on the lower vang block so that it can be moved from the mastbase to the toerail to use it as a preventer.

U-Adaptor

The 093 U-adaptor allows blocks with 3/8 in (10 mm) posts to be attached to swivel bases or to other blocks with 3/8 in (10 mm) posts. The 1598 U-adaptor allows blocks with 9/16 in (14 mm) posts to be attached to swivel bases or to other blocks with 9/16 in (14 mm) posts. The 463 U-Adaptor adapts 75 mm Carbo singles to swivel bases.

High-resistance shackles are marked “HR” .

U-Adaptors attach blocks to swivel bases or to other blocks.

RigTune Pro Digital Rig Tension Gauge

The award-winning RigTune Pro rig tension gauge lets sailors fine-tune rigging with digital precision to the nearest kilogram, eliminating inaccurate spring-loaded gauges and conversion tables. The RigTune Pro works by deflecting the rigging over three pins on the back of the gauge. A load cell records the pressure on one of the pins and displays the measurement on an easy-to-read screen. Sailors can record their fastest settings and reproduce them for each regatta with dependable repeatability.

Reference lines on deflection handle provide repeatable settings.

Use for: Boats to 24' (7.3 m)

Gulari was born in Istanbul in 1975. His parents were active 505 sailors in Turkey, and named their son after the northern wind that sweeps the Aegean Sea. He immigrated to the States as a small child when his parents—both professors—landed jobs in academia. His forays into singlehanded sailing didn’t come until age 5, when his dad set him up with a modified windsurfing rig. It didn’t take long before Bora was hooked on the thrill of white-knuckle speed. Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Gulari sailed out of Grosse Point before attending the University of Michigan, where he earned a degree in aerospace engineering. While he sailed in school, his career didn’t take flight until post graduation when he became active in the 49er class, narrowly missing an Olympic berth. Given his windsurfing background, he considered an RS:X campaign, but fate intervened when he discovered YouTube videos of Moth legend Rohan Veal flying on foils. A purchase was made, sight unseen, and Gulari never looked astern. For Gulari, 2009 was a watershed year. He became the first Moth sailor to break the 30-knot barrier, he won the Moth Worlds, and he was named 2009 US SAILING Rolex Yachtsman of the Year.

Bora Gulari by David Schmidt / Alembic Media, LLC You’ve made your name as a Moth sailor, but you also excel in fully crewed one-design classes such as the Melges 24. What’s it like to switch gears from singlehanded sailing to a fully crewed boat? It takes discipline. You’re transitioning from where you’re the whole show to where you’re a part of the equation. It’s going from an individual sport to a team sport. It’s not hard, but one person occupies a different role on the team versus when you have the whole responsibility to get around the racecourse on your shoulders. What’s the hardest part about this transition for you? The hardest thing is relying on a team versus relying on yourself. You have to have the social dynamic of a team where everyone is important; you have the logistics of dealing with the team and the camaraderie of dealing with a team. As tactician, do you ever catch yourself being a bit too quiet on the Melges? Or are the two boats different experiences in your mind? Sometimes I do have the problem of being too quiet. When you see a situation developing—that’s a key role in being a tactician, especially when you’re with someone who [doesn’t sail] every day—and you know how it’s going to play forward, you need to communicate it [to your helm] word by word. Do you actively practice on both singlehanded and fully crewed boats? I actively practice on both, but obviously the easiest one is the Moth because it’s [just] my training partner and I, and we can rig up and we can go yachting. With the Melges—we just recently got our own boat between [my friend] George Peet and myself— we have scheduled training sessions with Blue Moon. But once again, it’s [a matter of] gathering ten people to go sailing versus just the two of us [Moth sailors] saying, “Alright, let’s go sailing.” Logistically, it’s more challenging.

Which experience do you enjoy more and why? And which is currently more challenging? It’s a tough call. I definitely enjoy singlehanded sailing, but the feeling of being with a team and succeeding as a team and being able to celebrate as a team is quite a bit better than the singular success. I think fully crewed [sailing], in my mind, is more challenging because you have to rely on everyone. You are a team and you have to have faith in your team. What’s the most rewarding aspect of fully crewed one-design sailing for you? The team camaraderie. I love the learning experience and being able to learn from your teammates is absolutely great. It’s like having your own little army and going into battle [together]. What do you enjoy most about sailing alone? Simplicity, and the pureness of the whole event. You don’t get stuck with a lot of logistics. You show up and it’s a make-ithappen-yourself deal—you don’t really need to rely on a whole lot of other people. Singlehanded one-design sailing is…it’s where you get the blurry-eyed purists who talk to themselves more than they do anybody else. You’re kind of out there, chasing something… If you’ve been Moth sailing a lot, how much practice time do you need on a fully crewed boat to feel dialed-in before a big event? It all depends on the number of new players, but I think it’s a matter of if you’re going with a big boat like a TP52…you can always go racing, it’s usually [a question of] how hard you push the boat, so it’s kind of a relative percentage. As a crew gains confidence and competency in themselves, how hard you can push obviously goes a lot higher.

From singlehanded to crewed sailing

Choose Wisely

Thierry Martinez photo

With the Melges, practice time is showing up and doing regattas. It’s very important to have a training partner of sorts. If you have local boats and it’s easy—where you can convince your friends that [you’re] going to go out and sail against each other—it’s obviously something that you can [both] use to your advantage. Any thoughts on how long other singlehanded one-design sailors should practice with their team before a big fully crewed regatta? It depends on the complexity of the boat. On a Melges 24 I think you need to be there at least two to three full days before a regatta and be sailing every moment you can to be making sure that all the equipment is working. On a bigger boat, like a TP52, you’re starting to practice for the last regatta of the season from the moment you first put the boat in the water. It’s an ongoing experience—every time you go out on the water you get better. Every time you improve. You have to view the whole thing as practice. Any advice on how to keep the mood positive on a fully crewed one-design boat when someone else does something wrong? You have to realize that you’re all in it as a team, and even if something bad happens, you have to move past it and keep on fighting. You’ve just got to drop it—as soon as [a problem] is fixed, you’re off to the next thing. I’ve seen other boats where the yelling gets out of hand. If you look at all the good teams, there’s never any negative energy on the boat. They’re always united, looking outwards, versus inwards. Where would you like to take your career? More singlehanded classes or more fully crewed sailing? I’m interested in everything. I really enjoy the Moth—I don’t think I could go into another singlehanded class except for maybe the A-Cat… I always enjoy doing distance racing on big boats. And I really enjoy doing sportboat one-design racing because it’s much more a game of inches.

Rather than jumping from a singlehanded boat into an empty spot on an existing rail, Gulari suggests that a more enjoyable alternative is to bring some of your competitors from your singlehanded class with you and build a team from the ground up. “You get to see people in a different light when you’re working together, instead of competing against them,” says Gulari. The key to building a good team, he says, is to get the right people on the right tasks—a complex matter that requires the team’s leader to assign roles, and for each sailor to play their part. Obviously… “The person who throws down the most money gets to drive,” says Gulari with a laugh. “After that, I think, you have to judge what people’s relative strengths are.”

Generals and Soldiers

Gulari is quick to point out that there are two kinds of sailors: generals and soldiers. While the same sailor can often successfully wear both hats, determining the most appropriate assignments to complete a crew dynamic is one of the most important steps in building a team. “If you judge someone to be a better soldier, you’re not saying they’re less important, it’s just that sometimes you need soldiers and sometimes you need generals,” says Gulari.

Divining Roles

The most effective determinate for divining which sailor should wear what hat, says Gulari, is a person’s work ethic. “If you have a problem or a [lousy] job that has to be done—who’s the guy who’ll jump right in there and make it his baby? That’s usually your soldier.”

Wearing Your Hat

“Everyone is needed—it’s just who fits in the role? The key to all keelboat sailing is that you’ve got to do your own job. Whether it’s being the forward hand or whether it’s calling tactics, you’ve got to focus on your job and do it well. Everything else just blends.” But in order for things to blend properly, each team member needs to be disciplined enough to stay within the confines of their role, even if they feel that they can do someone else’s job better.

CB Travelers & Genoa Leads Easily Adjust Leads Under Load Captive ball bearing traveler and genoa lead cars make it easy to adjust fully-loaded sails from the cockpit. Freerunning ball bearings offer smooth control and won’t escape when you take the car off the track. Cars available in shackle, toggle, and soft-attach styles for athwartship jib or mainsheet systems

Bind-Free Stand-Up Toggle

Stand-up toggle holds mainsheet block upright off deck. Toggle attaches low inside car so off-angle mainsheet loads apply less leverage on balls, allowing cars to roll freely. Cars accept loads to 40 degrees from vertical without binding. Carbo control blocks attach directly to toggle ears to reduce load on car so bearings don’t bind.

Captive Bearings

Wire guides keep balls captive making cars easy to load and maintain. Guides circulate free-rolling Torlon® or Delrin® bearings smoothly under both high and low loads.

Details Make the Difference Strong, Light Car Body

One-piece solid 6061-T6 aluminum construction for strength and durability. CNC sculpted to remove excess weight.

Long-Lasting Protective Finish

Car body and bearing races are deep-saturation Hardkote-anodized and Teflon®-impregnated for durability. UV-stabilized with black additive for maximum protection.

DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension.

CB Traveler Cars: 13 mm Micro & 22 mm Small Boat

2701 Block not included

Harken® 13 mm CB traveler cars are used on small dinghies and catamarans. 22 mm CB traveler cars fit dinghies, keelboats, beachcats, and offshore boats to 8 m (27 ft). Wire guides keep balls captive when the car is off the track.

2702 13 mm Micro

Micro and Small Boat cars with a 227 kg (500 lb) maximum working load use Delrin® balls. Small Boat cars with high maximum working loads use high-strength Torlon® ball bearings.

Use the Loop car with 29 or 40 mm Carbo T2 AirBlocks®

Loop cars matched with T2™ blocks attached with high-tech line provide the ultimate lightweight, low-profile system.

Genoa Lead Cars: 22 mm

Pinstop and adjustable genoa lead cars feature high-load axle bearings for easy trimming. Wide sheaves accommodate two sheets during sail changes. Sheave carriers pivot 60° to adapt to changing lead angles. Both pinstop and CB cars run on ball bearing track, allowing easy upgrades from pinstop to ball bearing without changing track.

Pinstop

Pinstop cars are used in applications where lead positions change infrequently. Cars can be quickly removed from the track to clean up the deck.

CB Adjustable

Recirculating ball bearings allow CB (captive ball bearing) genoa lead cars to adjust easily under full sheet loads. Use CB genoa lead cars with end controls for multiple purchase systems.

Flexible, lightweight, lashing attachment allows block to articulate freely on 2750 jib car.

Curved Track

Track is often bent to follow the cabin house curve or boom radius. Sometimes track is bent vertically, ends up, to relieve tension on the sail’s leech as the traveler car moves off the boat’s centerline.

Vertical Bend: Ends Down Vertical Bend: Ends Up

To perform smoothly and carry the correct load, the traveler car’s length must suit track radius. Each traveler car page has a chart which shows the minimum radius on which each car will ride. If the load requires a long car, but the radius will be too tight, consider using two short cars joined by a coupler.

3 Horizontal Bend

Minor bends can often be made when the track is installed. If the track requires more bend, Harken® can provide horizontal, vertical, or compound curves to specification for a modest charge. If this bend is continuous, add 50 to 100 mm (2 to 4 inches) to each end because track cannot be bent to its ends.

Compound Bend

1. Vertical Bend: Ends Down

This bend is used for mainsheet travelers mounted over the cabin house. The curve matches the crown of the cabin house and allows the track to clear the companionway hatch, but minimizes the height of the track risers.

Radius

2. Vertical Bend: Ends Up

Chord Length

Some boats use this bend to relieve leech tension when the traveler car moves off centerline. Ends-up bends are also used for staysails. Tracks angled forward to face the clew of the sail mount on risers.

Chord Depth

3. Horizontal Bend

Horizontal bends allow the traveler to follow the radius of the boom as it swings across the boat. The track stays flat and the ends curve to the boat’s bow or stern. Sometimes horizontal bends are used for boom vangs and occasionally for staysails, especially those with booms.

Length

4. Compound Bend

Compound bends are a combination of a vertical and horizontal bend. An example is when the track curves in the horizontal plane to follow the radius of the boom, but mounts to a deck that has a slight crown.

Jonathan McKee on Teambuilding by David Schmidt / Alembic Media, LLC How important are leadership and teamwork at the upper levels of the sport? I think it’s important at every level. Leadership is something you need, regardless of your campaign. The biggest job of the leadership happens at the very beginning where you try to determine— with the owner and the other leaders—what are the ground rules that you’re going to operate under. I think it’s important to actually have a document that people can look at and say, “Yes, buying into this document is part of my involvement in this team.” Maybe it’s something as simple as how you deal with expenses that you incur during a regatta, or maybe it’s how you communicate with other people on the racecourse. What are the key components of a successful one-design team? If you’re trying to get to the highest level, you eventually need to have the highest skills, even if you don’t start out there. In most One Design classes, it’s possible to develop the skills. If they’re good learners, it’s possible to do this rapidly. Starting with a two-person boat, the relationship between the skipper and crew is critical. They have to have enough talent and skill to compete at the top level, but they also need to be able to create some sort of synergy between them. Much of that is communication and trust and clearly laying out who is responsible for what. The third important element is to create a training regime or protocol that efficiently allows you to get better. Whether it’s having one other training partner and having structured sessions, or whether it’s going to a lot of regattas and using the time to sail against a lot of other boats. When you’re sailing as skipper, what are the best ways to foster a great onboard dynamic? As skipper, one of your main jobs is to create an environment where everyone can do their best work; it’s the same thing in business. First of all, make sure people know what’s expected of them. Then, make sure they have the right tools to succeed.

Assuming that you’re self-coaching, one of your jobs is to audit people’s performance. Crewmembers should also coach each other, which creates a mutually self-coaching environment. A skipper needs to give feedback in the right way for it to be most effective. Being specific with feedback is important; giving it at the right time is also important. And should a situation arise during a race, I’m a big fan of saying, ‘look, let’s talk about this later, let’s get on with the race right now’. It’s important to have ‘the talk’ in the positive spirit of improvement and cooperation. It’s also important that the skipper really takes control at crucial times, for example at the start, near marks and near other boats. He needs to take control because that’s when he needs to instantly do the right thing. What about when you’re serving as tactician? Well, it’s the same thing as being skipper in many ways. On many boats, the tactician is really the team leader. Let’s assume that you have a pretty good helmsman and that you don’t need to coach the crew on straight-line sailing. In that case, the most important thing is that the helm needs to get comfortable enough in your decision-making to trust you. When you make your calls, make sure to give everyone enough time to do their job. Then, I think, it’s good to have some dialog about what you’re thinking and let others chime in. And you need to make strong decisions, take responsibility, and be open to review later. You don’t want to over-analyze a situation. Instead, I’ll ask a question like, “Did we have the right information? Should someone have been looking for those boats to port? If so, who would that be? What’s the right communication process if that happens again?”

SPEEDTEAM SPOTLIGHT

Is there ever a place for yelling or raised voices onboard a One Design boat? Maybe if there’s a safety issue, like ‘watch out for the boom!’ or a man-overboard call. But I don’t see how raising your voice at another crewmember helps. Saying it louder won’t accomplish anything except to raise everyone’s anxiety, which doesn’t tend to improve performance. Does good teambuilding always happen onboard, or are there decisions that a skipper can make ashore that will help further his team’s goals? I’d say that it’s half and half. In my mind, the dinner afterwards is just as important as the race as far as defining the team and furthering its goals. Think about it—the best debriefings and feedback you’ve had after a day of sailing usually happen over a beer later on, when you’re more relaxed and can think clearly and discuss ideas. Are there any golden rules to building a strong team? Selecting your team is a question of personality versus skill. There’s no right answer. On a midsize boat, key positions are not that onerous. It’s more about your attitude, how well you can work with other people and your willingness to commit to the team and to improve yourself. Don’t just pick the most talented guys and expect a great performance. Even at the highest level, you see the decision makers looking to see how a sailor performs in a group environment. Will they blame you or will they have your back? Do they have a positive attitude? Are they fun to be with? The sailing part can always be learned and is pretty secondary to having a nice person who will work well with the team and have the potential to improve. If there’s one thing I’d say to owners and people putting together a team, it’s to really pay attention and think carefully about the people you choose. Sometimes it’s good to have an affinity group—people of the same age or co-workers, that kind of fraternity. But generally, I find that a mix of sexes, ages, and experience levels is better. Having that diversity over the long run makes the team work better and is more interesting. Are there any “never-do’s”? Anything that is intentionally disrespectful of another person is a big no in my opinion. To me, the most important thing is to treat people with respect. I think this can be applied on a lot of levels, both within your team and towards the rest of the competition. You’ve sailed offshore in a wide variety of boats and races that test sailors to the core. What have you learned about great onboard dynamics and teambuilding through these experiences? Offshore magnifies and exaggerates the interpersonal relationships onboard. You don’t get a break; you can’t go to your hotel room. You can form these incredible bonds through offshore sailing because you go through these intense experiences— more so than in a small boat. The friendships that come from offshore sailing are pretty strong. How about with One Design sailing? What have you learned about great teambuilding on the various teams that you’ve sailed on? I’ve learned from every partnership that I’ve ever been involved with. I sailed for many years with Libby, my wife. We have a positive skipper/crew relationship—she’s crew, I’m skipper—so I learned a lot from that. It’s a nice extension of our relationship. One of my goals is to sail with other good guys and to continue to expand my knowledge and make new friends. For me, this is why big boats are so great. It’s an opportunity to have a high-level social interaction. Ultimately, sailboat racing is a competition, and unless you’re singlehanding, it’s an exercise in teamwork.

About Jonathan In a world where plenty of top-level sailors are not shy about touting the merits of their resumes, Jonathan McKee’s low-key approach is a refreshing reminder that sailing is about having fun. Yet for his laid-back attitude, the 51-year old Seattlebased sailor has won plenty of sailboat races, including two Olympic Medals—a Gold in the Flying Dutchman class in 1984 and a Bronze in the 49er class in 2000 with his brother, Charlie—and seven world championships. In 2010, he won the Melges 24 Worlds aboard Uka Uka Racing and placed second in the Melges 32 Worlds aboard Full Throttle. His success aboard Uka Uka Racing, an Italian-flagged boat where McKee is the only English speaker, is a credit to his leadership and teamwork skills—traits that often set him apart.

Leadership Tips Ground Rules

“My ground rules are to make sure the boat stays safe; to keep sailing with new people; to try to give everyone a job, make sure they know what it is and have the tools to be able to do it,” says McKee.

Teachable Moments

Should a crew error or some other onboard mistake transpire, it’s important to remember that you’ve got a sailboat race unfolding. McKee suggests that rather than addressing the issue on the spot, a better program is to wait until a quiet time when rational thought prevails. Try to be a partner with the other person [or people] involved in coming up with an agreed-upon solution for moving forward.

Clear Communication

Typically, the bigger the boat, the more complex and complicated a program becomes. The trick here is to have a clearly delineated hierarchy, to establish a go-to person, and to ensure that everyone understands and buys into the team’s direction and goals.

The Bottom Line

Sailing often involves large time commitments and time away from your family. “All of us need to step back and remember why we go sailing in the first place,” says McKee. “In the end, we’re doing this activity because we love it.” Is there a difference between the kinds of teambuilding needed to create a great One Design team versus the team building that happens on bigger boats? Can you give me some examples? The more people who are involved, the more complicated it becomes and more hierarchy is needed. On a bigger boat, you need to make it clear who reports to who, who has responsibility for what, and so on. And communicate! The important thing to remember is that communication gets harder with a bigger team. Is leadership and teamwork improved with practice, or is it an intrinsic quality that some sailors have and others don’t? It’s primarily something that you have. On the flipside, you can improve your style—everyone can—especially your use of language. I think everyone can find better words to express things. It comes back to treating people with respect. If you do that, people are likely to give you a better performance in return. 55

Harken® Small Boat furling systems allow the trailerable cruising or dinghy sailor to set and furl the jib from the cockpit. Drums and halyard swivels feature multiple stacked races of Delrin® or Torlon® bearings for smooth rotation under load. Small Boat units are for furling only, not reefing.

Hoistable Swivels

An optional hoistable ball bearing halyard swivel can be installed on your headstay so you can raise or lower the sail without removing the headstay. Swivels are independent of the headstay, allowing you to tension the luff separately from the mast rake. Hoistable swivels work along with your standard Harken Small Boat furler.

Underdeck Furlers

The Small Boat Underdeck Furler fits sportboats from 4.8 m to 9 m (16 ft to 30 ft). These nonfoiled systems are up to 50% lighter than similar systems currently available. The furling drum fits neatly beneath the deck, lowering tack height for maximized sail area. The spherical through-deck ball joint provides a low profile, nearly watertight system that aligns the spool to the headstay. Multiple stacked bearing races provide smooth rotation under load. Like all Small Boat furlers the Underdeck Furler is for furling only, not reefing.

Hoistable Swivels

An optional hoistable ball bearing halyard swivel can be installed on the headstay, allowing the sail to be raised or lowered without removing the headstay. Swivels are independent of the headstay so the luff can be tensioned separately from the mast rake. Hoistable swivels work along with the standard Small Boat furler.

Furling Accessories Carbo Furling Lead Block Assemblies

Harken recommends equipping every system with Carbo lead blocks for safe furling from the cockpit. The 7404 kit’s lightweight, UV-stabilized Carbo blocks run exclusively on ball bearings for fast trimming under any load. A 7402 ratchet maintains tension when spooling so the unit can furl smoothly and easily. The 7403 outboard assembly allows furling line to travel outboard of the stanchion to keep the sidedeck clear. Block mounts with a strong four-screw clamp without removing the stanchion or lifelines. Use the 7401 40 mm block on the bow pulpit as an inboard lead. Both the 7401 and 7402 have ball and socket bases to align blocks for smooth leads aft. The 7404 lead block kit provides a complete system for most boats.

Halyard Restrainers

Halyard restrainers prevent the halyard from wrapping around the foil on boats where the swivel isn’t mounted near the masthead. Stainless steel brackets feature Hardkote-anodized aluminum sheaves that accommodate both wire and rope. Halyard restrainers should not be used unless required.

Carbo lead block assemblies fit 1 in (25 mm) stanchions

Prefeeders and Snap Shackles

Prefeeders and snap shackles facilitate fast sail changes. The 7006 prefeeder features Hardkote-anodized rollers with low-friction bushings.

Accessories: Ball Bearing Handles

These robust low-friction ball bearing handles match a wide range of cranking needs. Handles feature a ball bearing grip that efficiently transmits power into the winch. All handles fit international standard winch sockets.

Locking vs. Plain

Molded urethane knob for comfortable feel and better grip when palming the handle

Lock-in handles are easy to engage and release with a thumb switch. Plain handles are faster to insert.

Handle Length

Handles feature an independent swivel between the knob and handle to keep the wrist straight and arms in the best power position while grinding

10 in (254 mm) is the most comfortable handle length for most sailors. Published power ratios are based on this length. 8 in (203 mm) handles grind faster because they swing through a smaller circle, but power is reduced by 20%. 8 in (203 mm) handles are ideal for smaller boats and light air where speed is more important than power.

SpeedGrip

SpeedGrip handles are effective in both light and heavy air conditions. The unique grip permits low-load fast cranking using the palm, and powerful two-handed grinding when loads are high. The low-profile B8ASGLP is made for fast, one-handed cranking where speed is the concern, not power.

The B10DL handle features a lock-in switch and provides powerful two-handed grinding

Accessories: Service Kits

You should service your winches at least once during the pre-season. However, twice a season is best if your boat lives in salt water. If you race your boat hard, you may want to maintain your winches before every regatta. Keep your winches clean and operating smoothly by flushing frequently with fresh water. Check pawls and springs, bearings, gears, and spindles for signs of wear and corrosion.

Q&A

For more details, consult the maintenance manual. Installation manuals and parts lists are available online at www.harken.com.

Which parts do I grease and which do I oil on my Harken winches? Grease all metal gears and roller bearings with Harken Winch Grease. It’s highly resistant to salt and fresh water, works in all temperatures, and protects against corrosion. NEVER grease pawls or springs because grease causes them to stick. Instead, lubricate with Harken Pawl Oil for optimal rotation. Radial winches have composite roller bearings that do not need to be lubricated.

Ratchet Blocks

Ratchet blocks are hand and crew savers. The eight-sided sheave grips loaded sheets with up to 15: 1 holding power yet allows a line to be eased instantly with control. They allow the crew to hand hold main, jib and spinnaker sheets with only a fraction of the effort that a regular block requires. An on/off switch allows the ratchet to be turned off in light air to trim and ease lines more easily. 40 mm The 2608, 2609 and 2614 have on/off switches; other 40 mm ratchet blocks are always in ratchet mode. 57 mm (10:1 Holding Power), 75 mm (15:1 Holding Power) All 57 and 75 mm ratchet blocks have on/off switches.

Glossary of Terms

Bail: A bail is an eye that may or may not have an opening. The opening makes a difference when you are trying to attach it to something without an opening, such as a loop lashing. Padeyes and eyestraps are common types of bails. Bearings: Bearing properties are functions of contact area, material type, bearing cages, and whether the bearing rolls or slides.

Bearing Efficiency (low friction)

Bearing types: Ball bearings: Very low friction; low/medium load capacity. Roller bearings: Low friction; high load capacity. Sleeve bearings: Medium/high friction; Extremely high load capacity.

Delrin balls

Torlon balls

Stainless steel balls

Caged rollers Uncaged rollers

Bail

Bearing contact area

Bearing materials: Stainless steel is stronger than Torlon® and Torlon® is stronger than Delrin®. Because stainless is heavier and usually higher maintenance, Torlon® is used in most high-load applications.

Contact area: More contact between the bearing and the race increases friction but also increases load capacity. Balls are loaded on small points, Sleeve bearing cylindrical rollers are loaded Bearing Load Capacity along their length, and sleeve bearings are curved around the shaft so a large portion is in contact. Unlike balls and cylinders, sleeves are not prone to being flattened by extreme or static loads because they already conform to the curvature of the shaft. Motion (rolling, caged rolling, or sliding): Sliding bearings (known as sleeve, plain, full-contact, bushing, or journal bearings) are very high strength but have nothing to reduce friction between contact areas. At most, they have a low-friction sleeve between the surfaces. Rollers and balls avoid almost all of this friction because they do not slide against the race, though they can come in contact with each other. Caged roller bearings (unique to Harken) are separated from each other to avoid this.

Caged rollers vs. uncaged rollers

Becket

Becket: A becket is closed bail on a block that may or may not open. It usually serves as a dead-end within a purchase. Carbo: Carbo blocks and Carbo-Cam® cleats for moderate loads are made of a highstrength engineering resin embedded with long glass fibers. They are 60% stronger and 30% lighter than stainless-reinforced Classic blocks. The Carbo name comes from a carbon additive that gives the blocks their color and UV resistance, but Carbo-Cams® also contain a plastic-carbon fiber matrix. Carbon black: Carbon black is a color additive used in black Delrin® ball bearings, pulley sheaves, and sideplates to protect against UV exposure. Classic: The Classic line for low to moderate loads is based on Harken’s founding designs. They are typically stainless and stainless-reinforced Delrin. Many but not all Classics have stronger and lighter counterparts in the Carbo line.

Glossary of Terms

Control block on car

Control blocks: Usually refers to blocks on a traveler car that are responsible for moving the car along the track, but sometimes refers to the blocks on the end controls. Delrin®: Black (or white, in older blocks) material which excels in small boat and low- to moderate-load applications. Delrin is used for bearings, sheaves, and sideplates.

Control block on end control

Dynamic loads: Loads which require frequent adjustment. To minimize trimming loads, friction reduction usually takes priority over static load resistance in dynamic load applications. End controls: Hardware on either side of a traveler track that pulls the car to that side of the track. Fiddle block: A fiddle has two sheaves like a double block, except one is above the other instead of both sharing the same axis. Unlike a spriddle, the sheaves are different sizes and the smaller sheave has a lower load capacity. Foil: While this can also refer to rudders and centerboards, here it refers to metal or plastic sheathes that slip over the forestay. These sheaths have one to two boltrope grooves, making sail changes faster and easier than on boats with hank-on headsails. Harken Carbo Racing Foils are made for this purpose, but larger furling units also contain headstay foils over which the headsail is rolled.

Hardkote-anodized: Aluminum Anodizing Thickness Hardcoat aluminum = Thickness in inches anodizing is an electroClear chemical process that Black produces a corrosionresistant finish with Harken Hardkote hardness characteristics second only to diamonds. Fiddle block Harken’s hardcoating process, “Hardkote,” is twice as thick as black anodization to provide extra protection against scratches, dents, superficial deformation, and corrosion.

Furling foil

Heli-Coils®: Thread inserts that isolate dissimilar metals, provide stronger threading for fastener holes, and distribute fastener loads over a larger area. Lashing: Generic term for soft attachments with two ends. Lashings are usually tied with several loops between the two attachment points then tied off at the end. Approved lashing configurations are included in applicable Harken product manuals. Custom configurations should be approved by Harken technical service or an experienced rigger. Loop lashing: Generic term for continuous circular soft attachments. While lashing configurations should be designed and tied by a professional, loops are strong and very simple to use because they don’t require knots. Approved loop configurations are included in applicable Harken product manuals. Custom configurations should be approved by Harken technical service or an experienced rigger. LOUPS™: LOUPS™ are Yale-brand loop lashings. They contain coiled UHMW braid and are covered with a sleeve to protect from wear. Colored tracers in the sleeve denote load rating and indicate UV exposure.

Loop lashing

LOUP™ tracers

Ratchet: A ratchet block’s faceted sheave turns only in the trimming direction while the ratchet is engaged. The sheave acts like a snubbing winch to reduce hand loads by creating drag on the line. This reduces muscle fatigue and offers better control when easing the sheet. Ratchets also make trimming easier since you don’t have to hold the full force of the load while shifting your grip.

Lashing

Glossary of Terms

Set screw: Several parts use set screws that can be tightened and loosened via Allen wrench or screwdriver, making it easy for users to customize settings such as Ratchamatic® engagement tension or shackle direction. Static loads: Loads that do not require frequent adjustment. Constant stress deforms certain materials, so strength takes priority over friction reduction in equipment designed for static loads. Spriddle block: A spriddle has two similarly sized sheaves like a double block, except one is above the other instead of both sharing the same axis. Unlike a fiddle, the sheaves have the same load capacity. Spriddles are often used for spinnaker changed and peels.

Set screw adjustment for Ratchamatic® block

Stainless steel: 17-4PH Stainless steel: This alloy is used in gears because it is hardenable to extremely high strengths. 17-4PH is more corrosion-resistant than any other standard hardenable stainless steel. 316 Stainless steel: This is a nonhardenable alloy with high corrosion resistance in freshwater and saltwater. Soft attachment: A term encompassing lashings, loop lashings, and any other fiber-based equipment that replaces the function of a shackle or padeye. They offer incredible weight savings over traditional shackles and padeyes made with stainless steel. However, they are prone to wear and should only be used on regularly maintained race boats.

Spriddle block

Teflon®-impregnated: Teflon® impregnation, along with anodization, protects aluminum against corrosion by sealing the surface from moisture. It also minimizes friction and gives the component better wear resistance. Torlon®: Exceptionally strong crush/impact-resistant bearing material that withstands heavy long-term use and shock loading. Most Harken hardware that sees extreme loads uses greenish-brown Torlon® bearings. UV-stabilized: UV light photo-degrades composites by breaking their chemical bonds, leaving them weak, brittle, and discolored. This is common in equipment with white bearings. All Harken composites and bearings are naturally UV-resistant or use stabilizers like carbon black. Weather helm: When heeled, the helm must be pulled windward (“to weather”) to counteract the hull’s tendency to turn windward. Ways to reduce weather helm for a faster and flatter ride include depowering the sail with the traveler and other controls.

Soft attachment

Wire block: Wire blocks are ideal for wires as well as lines used in high-load rigging applications. They have aluminum sheaves to stand up to the extreme loads and abrasive materials. Some wire blocks use stronger bearing materials and configurations.

Torlon® bearings for high loads

Carbon black bearings for UV stabilization

7:1/28:1 Gross/Fine: This gross trim/fine tune system is found on racing multihulls where it is desirable to split the gross trim from the fine tune. Placing the fine tune in the boom provides a very clean system that the trimmer can get a hold of and put his weight into it. The powerful cascading fine tune portion is used to haul the boom in that last little bit.

4:1

4:1/16:1

6:1/24:1 4:1 Swivel Base: Position the swivel base block off the traveler car to allow mainsail adjustment without dragging the car to windward in light air. To avoid tightening the leech, curve the track ends up.

6:1/24:1 Gross/Fine: This 6:1/24:1 cascading system is used on boats with end-boom sheeting and mains as large as 25.5 m2 (275 ft2) and end-boom sheeting.

4:1/16:1 Gross/Fine: This powerful grosstrim/fine-tune cascading system allows crew to use the 4:1 gross-trim for most trimming and the 16:1 fine-tune for precise adjustments.

2:1 4:1/16:1

4:1/16:1 Double-ended Fine Tune: This 4:1/16:1 system uses a dinghy-like double-ended tackle that locates the sheet ends on the cockpit sides.

Admiral's Cup 2:1 with Dedicated Winches: In this system, the traveler is independent of the mainsheet so it rolls freely. The sheet leads forward along the boom before it turns down and aft to winches. Used on race boats like the Farr® 40.

1 Halyard: This simple system leads principle halyards aft. Used by boats under 30 ft (9 m).

2:1

(Looking forward)

6:1 3 Halyards: Larger boats use special mastbase halyard lead blocks. Lines are routed out to deck organizers then aft to stoppers and winches. Stand-up blocks on a base are sometimes preferred for their complete articulation, but they hold halyards higher off the deck than specialized mastbase blocks. 4:1 Double-ended Cascaded: This system is easy to adjust from the trapeze. It’s easy to rig and unrig. Popular on smaller beach cats.

12:1 Cascaded: This simple 2:1 purchase is attached to a 6:1 cascade for a 12:1 system. Used on larger racing and cruising boats.

6:1

6:1 Double-ended Jib Downhaul: Small boats like J/24s use a double-ended genoa cunningham system to adjust draft from the weather rail.

6 Halyards: Modern race boats lead halyards and control lines straight aft through deck organizers so they can be used on either cabintop winch.

Spinnaker

Spinnaker Pole Handling & Halyards

Standard Sheets: Masthead rigs to 8.5 m (28 ft) and fractional rigs to 9.7 m (32 ft) use one pair of lines which lead to turning blocks at the transom. Tweakers bring the guy to the deck near the point of maximum beam to provide additional control over the spinnaker pole. One foreguy line is appropriate for these boats.

Standard Sheets & Guys: Offshore boats over 9 m (30 ft) use separate sheets and guys. The sheets lead to turning blocks at the transom, while the guys lead to blocks at the point of maximum beam and then to a winch. A double-ended foreguy adjusts from either side of the boat.

2:1 Spinnaker Pole: This system allows the inboard end of the pole to be moved under load. It features a continuous adjuster line and 2:1 controls.

3:1 Spinnaker Pole: This adjustable system features 3:1 controls for more power.

Spinnaker Halyard through Spar: Smaller offshore boats often mount a cam cleat below the spinnaker halyard exit so crew can jump the halyard and cleat it to the mast when setting the spinnaker. The cam also holds the line should the sail fill prematurely.

Asymetrical on Sprit: Boats with asymmetrical spinnakers and retractable (or removable) bowsprits are rigged with a tack line leading through a block on the end of the sprit, and aft to a cleat or stopper. Two sheets attach to the clew of the sail, with the lazy sheet leading aft ahead of the headstay, over the sprit, and outside the shrouds and sheets.

Pole Launcher: Many racing boats have asymmetrical spinnakers and retractable bowsprits. This system features a launcher line on top of the pole, with strong shock chord on the bottom to automatically retract the pole when the launcher line is uncleated.

Continuous Line: Beachcats install two carbo auto ratchets on each side of the boat to manage high spinnaker sheet loads. Use 57 mm ratchets on catamarans up to 6 m (20 ft). Use 75 mm ratchets on multihulls to 9 m (30 ft).

Backstay Adjuster 6:1

6:1 2:1

6:1

6:1 Right Angle: This simple 6:1 system is used on small cruising boats with a single line or wire backstay.

4:1

4:1 Split Backstay: This 4:1 system is used on small keelboats with split backstay systems. Pinching the wires together tightens the backstay and increases headstay tension to flatten the genoa, decrease weather helm, and stabilize the rig in heavy air.

12:1 Cascaded: This cascading 2:1/6:1 system provides a 12:1 purchase and is used on small racer/ cruisers and daysailers.

8:1

8:1 Split Backstay: A more powerful version of the split backstay adjuster uses a doubling wire running through a wire block for a purchase of 8:1.

6:1 Double-ended Split: This double-ended split backstay system leads lines forward to cam cleats mounted just ahead of the helmsman so adjustments can be made from either side of the boat.

Refer to the owner's manual for detailed maintenance instructions. Overapplication of grease can cause salt and water deposits to become trapped in the winch. Clear drain ports of sealants or grease. Lubricate pawls with Harken Pawl Oil. Do not grease pawls.

Lubrication

Adhesive: Red Loctite®. Semi-permanent adhesive can be removed with heat. Electric heat gun will not raise temperature enough to break adhesive seal. Adhesive: 5200. Semi permanent adhesive. Electric heat gun will not raise temperature enough to break adhesive seal.

Replace: nylock nuts after the third removal.

Anti-seize: Coat stainless fasteners that pass through aluminum blocks with an antiseize compound such as Tef-Gel®.

Adhesive: Blue Loctite®. Temporary adhesive. Can be removed without heating.

Lubricate: winch pawls with a drop of Harken Pawl Oil. Do not grease winch pawls.

Grease lightly: with Harken winch grease.

Lubricate: Dry lubricants such as McLube™ Sailkote, dry Teflon®, and dry silicon sprays which will not attract dirt may be used on slider cars.

Condition: Use only a single drop of McLube OneDrop™ ball bearing conditioner. Too much oil attracts dirt.

Degrease: Remove grease with degreaser. Harken recommends environmentally friendly citrus degreasers.

Check for wear and corrosion: Check pawls and springs, bearings, gears, and spindles. Clean: Keep your equipment clean and free-running by frequently flushing with fresh water. Periodically clean with mild detergent and water solution. Spin sheaves, rotate cams, and roll cars back and forth to distribute soap solution evenly. Clean: with Scotch Brite™ pad on Classic block sideplate and stainless steel strap.

Inspect frequently: shackles and shackle posts for signs of corrosion, cracks, or elongation. Inspect: lashings and loops for UV damage, wear, or chafe. When replacing loops, lashings, or shackles use Harken parts to maintain the proper strength. Inspect frequently: wire terminals, turnbuckle components, toggles, shackles, clevis and cotter pins below and inside drum assembly for signs of loosening, corrosion, or cracks.

Cleaning

Black Magic® Airblocks® disassembled, solution on rollers

Big Boat bearings are resistant to deformation, but we recommend releasing heavy loads on any hardware when not in use.

Big Boat Blocks

Inspection

Tape cotter rings to prevent snagging. Do not leave heavy loads on blocks when not in use as this may slightly deform the bearings. Normally bearings will return to their proper shape after rotation, but an initial resistance to rolling may be felt.

General Information

Small Boat and Midrange Block

Product

Always flush frequently with fresh water and periodically inspect all products for damage. Do not let deck hardware come in contact with teak cleaner or other caustic solutions as this causes discoloration and damage to the finish.

Metric Conversions

This catalog shows both imperial and metric measurements. In most cases, the metric dimension shown is calculated from the imperial measurement and rounded to a whole number. For example, 5/16" is generally shown as 8 mm, while an exact conversion would be 7.9375 mm. When referring to a line diameter, it is sufficient to approximate the conversion. In cases where a dimension is critical, exact metric dimensions are shown. For example, a clevis pin for a furling unit with a diameter of 1/2" is shown as 12.7 mm. Length

Loading Formulas Block Loading vs Angle of Deflection

Load on a block is a combination of the load on the line passing through the block, plus a block-loading factor, which is determined by the angle by which the block turns the sheet. For example, a footblock that turns a sheet 180-degrees will see a load equal to twice the load on the sheet. A deck organizer, which turns a halyard only 30 degrees, will see just 52 percent of the load on the halyard.

Boat Type

Most load formulas assume a medium displacement monohull, but you can easily correct for other boat types. Multihulls and boats with canting keels or water ballast have great form stability and speed and will often carry sails very high in the apparent wind speed, so calculations must be done with this wind speed in mind. ULDBs are typically tender and often change sails or reef quite early, so loading may be done at relatively low wind speeds. For example, a modern trimaran may carry its blade jib in 25 knots of wind at speeds over 15 knots for an apparent wind of nearly 40 knots, whereas a ULDB will probably remove its #1 genoa at about 15 knots of apparent wind.

Angle of deflection 150° 160° 180°

Load factor 193% 197% 200%

Genoa System Loading

Because wind speed is squared, it is the most important variable and can greatly influence loading. Wind speed (the apparent wind) should be calculated for the specific sail being analyzed. For example, the #1 genoa on a 25 ft (7 m) boat might only be carried in 15 knots of wind while the #3 blade on a Maxi-boat could well be carried in 40 knots.

.3 x Car Load

Genoa Sheet Load English Metric SL = SA x V2 x 0.00431 SL = SA x V2 x 0.02104 SL Sheet load in pounds SL Sheet load in kilograms SA Sail area in square feet SA Sail area in square meters V Wind speed in knots V Wind speed in knots

To calculate loading on a genoa lead car, multiply sheet load by the load factor of the sheet. Most #1 genoas will deflect about 45 degrees, while a #3 genoa may deflect 75 degrees or more. Lead car adjuster tackle load is dependent on the angle of deflection of the sheet in the lead car, but is generally assumed to be .3 of lead car load when deflection is 45-degrees and .5 of lead car load when deflection is 60 degrees.

Mainsheet System Loading

The formula for mainsheet loading is not as widely accepted as that for genoa sheet loads and should only be used as a rough guide for offshore boats from 30 ft to 60 ft (9 m to 18 m). Traveler car adjuster load is generally considered to be .2 times car load.

General Warnings and Instructions

Sailing is an exciting sport that can provide hours of enjoyment for you, your family, and friends. However, there are risks inherent in the sport, as well as with the equipment involved, that must be respected in order to avoid an accident, damage to your vessel, personal injury, or death.

The Breaking Load (BL) is the load at which a product is likely to fail. It is much higher than the highest load a product should ever experience, and should not, under any circumstances, ever be considered in selecting equipment. It is published for informational purposes only.

WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS. You must carefully read, understand, and follow all of the warnings and instructions provided by Harken in order to avoid an accident. These warnings and instructions can be found on the equipment, in its packaging, in our brochures, on our website, or through our customer service department.

3. Harken hardware and winches are for use exclusively on sailing boats for normal sailboat applications for rigging. Do not use Harken equipment for human suspension unless specifically stated in the Harken product catalog, manual, or website. Aloft rigging and maintenance must be left to rigging professionals only.

TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. Even though Harken equipment appears simple and easy to operate (as intended by our design), our equipment should never be used unless you have a sufficient level of training and experience in sailing in general and with the equipment in particular. The amount of training and experience depends on a number of factors, including the size and type of your vessel, the weather conditions, and the task you are trying to complete. If you have any doubt whatsoever about your training or experience, please do not use the equipment. Please contact Harken or seek additional training.

4. Keep fingers, hands, hair, loose clothing, gloves, and tools away from moving parts.

AVOID ACCIDENT & INJURY. Regardless of your skill level, in order to avoid an accident, damage to your vessel, personal injury, or death: 1. Loads on hardware can be significant, and shock loading from heavy winds or seas can quickly multiply that load to extremely high levels. Maximum line diameter is a guide to sheave groove size and not intended to provide the maximum working load of the block. All persons selecting, installing, or maintaining Harken gear must be aware and cautious of such loads. Select appropriate Harken hardware by using the loading formulas and charts provided in the Harken catalog or online at www.harken.com. You can also use Compu-Spec, Harken's online software that can help you select hardware for your boat. Always confirm your selection with a rigging professional or contact Harken directly. 2. Never, under any circumstances, exceed the capacity or Maximum Working Load (MWL) of any piece of equipment. The maximum working load may be found in our catalog, on our website, or through our technical service department. Loads above the MWL can cause the equipment to fail suddenly and unexpectedly.

5. If you are securing any equipment to the vessel with screws or other fasteners, be sure you are installing the screw into solid structure, or that you use anchor bolts, and that the attachment is sufficient to hold the anticipated load. Otherwise, the screw could become loose over time, or otherwise fail unexpectedly, resulting in an accident. 6. NYLOCK® nuts must not be used after being removed three times. When you replace shackles and fasteners, use the correct Harken parts to maintain the proper strength. 7. Always have all components of your vessel, down to the smallest pulleys, inspected for wear, corrosion, or deterioration at least yearly, and replace as necessary. 8. Before manipulating any piece of equipment, be sure that all persons and objects are clear of the path of movement of all reacting components. 9. As part of your maintenance procedures and to keep your equipment in optimum working order, frequently flush it with fresh water. 10. Always wear a personal flotation device and/or harness while on board any vessel, and especially while manipulating equipment. 11. Always be sure all safety equipment and electronics are in good working order before you set out on your journey. 12. For general boating safety information, visit the maritime organization in your sailing destination country (such as the United States Coast Guard at www.uscgboating.org).

THE 49er

Designed by Australian Julian Bethwaite, this 16-foot twin-trapeze dinghy is one of the fastest double-handed monohulls on the water. The ultralight one-design, based on the 18’ Skiff and the International 14, incorporates an asymmetrical spinnaker, a self-tacking jib, and two composite wings to help the crew keep the boat flat and under control. The 49er’s flexible topmast increases control in gusts—essential for a rig that is at full power in a mere eight knots of wind. The young class took the 2000 Olympics by storm and is already sailed in over 40 countries.

Spinnaker Launcher And Retrieval System

This powerful T2 spinnaker system quickly raises the sail and extends the bowsprit with a single line. A second lead retracts the pole and pulls the spinnaker back into the sock.

Mainsheet System

The floating mainsheet block can be raised or lowered to maintain efficient sail shape in varying wind conditions. When trimming to the centerline, it preserves proper leech tension by allowing the boom to move sideways instead of downwards.

Gnav

A gnav (an extremely powerful lever vang that pushes the boom down instead of pulling it down) makes it easy for crew to cross the boat under the boom. A double-ended control line allows adjustment from either side of the boat.

The A-Class Catamaran The International A-Class catamaran is a blazingly-fast, singlehanded cat considered by many to be the Formula One of race boats. Founded in the 1960s, this “box rule” developmental class features a carbon mast and lightweight carbon fiber hull and foils. These, plus timetested sailing techniques make this single-sail cat extraordinarily quick on all points of sail and almost unbeatable on the race course. A-Class sailors are leaders in design innovation, introducing the use of exotic materials, the carbon mast, square top mainsail and wave-piercing hull to other sports catamarans. The class’s large international following attracts the world’s top sailors, with 100 boats often competing for honors during world championships.

Mainsheet Traveler

The primary use of the mainsheet traveler is to de-power the boat when sailing downwind. This 2:1 system lets the car run downhill rapidly, but still has the muscle to haul the car to weather.

Cunningham Outhaul

Mainsheet

A 40 mm Carbo Ratchamatic® controls this powerful 8:1 system. The ratchet mechanism in the sheave automatically engages as loads increase. When eased the ratchet automatically disengages, allowing unloaded sheets to run out instantly during mark roundings and jibes. The lower block rotates so the sheet follows the driver on both tacks.

Outhaul

The 2:1 outhaul system controls the shape of the foot of the main. Upwind, a tight outhaul flattens the foot. Loosening the outhaul increases the draft for light air or off wind sailing.

Cunningham

The 12:1 cascaded cunningham controls luff tension at the leading edge of the sail. Contained in a compact package inside the spar, this doubleended system allows crew to quickly power or depower the sail from the trapeze.

Bénéteau First 36.7

FIRST 36.7

FIRST

Created by Farr Yacht Designs, this popular one-design and Boat of the Year winner offers racers-cruisers an ideal mix of performance, comfort, and value. Cruising is comfortable with accommodations like three double cabins and a well-equipped galley, while racers can remove the salon table and deck lockers for better maneuverability around the boat. Competitors can also choose a package that includes rod rigging and a choice of keels and spreader rigs. New Beneteau First 36.7 owners join a prolific and active class of over 400 boats.

Class-Legal Upgrades Mainsheet

This gross-trim/fine-tune setup gives you the extra power of a 24:1 purchase without sacrificing speed. Crank on the 6:1 at the leeward mark and then use the fine-tune lead for precision adjustments upwind.

Black Magic® Air Runners

have captive roller bearings and vibration-dampening sideload bearings–perfect for the backstay.

Carbo Racing Foil

For speed and control during headsail changes, the Carbo Racing Foil’s twin widemouthed grooves let you have both sails up at the same time. Compared to PVC, they are lighter, lower friction, and much more impact resistant. Foils include a free chafe guard.

Carbo Ratchets provide up to 15:1 holding power without compromising easing ability or chewing up lines.

Backstay

Backstay tension is second only to mainsheet trim on the 36.7, so it’s critical to have a powerful system with low-friction blocks. The maximum 48:1 backstay upgrade consists of three 2:1s and a 6:1 in a cascaded purchase.

THE BUCCANEER 18

Celebrating its 40th year, the Buccaneer’s designer was speed genius Rod MacAlpine Downie and originally commissioned by the Chrysler Marine division. The Buccaneer 18 is a widebeamed and powerful sit-in dinghy. With a roomy cockpit and easily handled controls, the double-handed “Bucc” is manageable by one and can accommodate as many as three people. She is fast and planes in 8-10 knots. Well-balanced, self-righting, and self-bailing, the Bucc is embraced by a lively class that spans from Alaska and Toronto to South Carolina and Arizona.

Rig tension system

SMALL BOAT FURLING

The low-friction Harken Small Boat Furler lets the crew set and furl the jib from the cockpit. Multiple stacked races of ball bearings let it rotate easily under load.

SMALL BOAT FURLING

To tension the shrouds and jib forestay/halyard, a track on the mast is adjusted with an underdeck double-triple block purchase. The control line exits the purchase to the cockpit for convenient midrace access upwind or downwind. It provides up to 400 lbs of forestay tension for highperformance sailing in strong winds or minimal tension in light air.

MAINSHEET SYSTEM

This 6:1 mainsheet features six lightweight Carbo blocks in series for smooth, low-friction trimming. The system is simple, fast to rig, and utilizes a swivel cam base for easy cleating at any angle.

www.buccaneer18.org • www.harken.com/onedesign/buccaneer.php

With speeds hitting 50-100+ mph and your body suspended mere inches over the ice, iceboating is the fastest winter sport and one of the most intense sailing experiences there is. Speed generates more speed in iceboats—while “soft water” yachts eventually succumb to hull drag, nearly frictionless iceboats can use apparent wind to reach speeds 2 to 4 times the true wind.

The DN Iceboat

The 12-foot DN, the smallest iceboat with the largest class, was first crafted by enthusiasts in the Detroit News’ wood shop after it won the paper’s 1936 design contest. Most of the 2000 members of the class build their own DNs, lending the boats to significant experimentation within the rules.

Mainsheet

The tapered mainsheet runs from a ratchet and two 75 mm Carbos to a 4:1 purchase. When building speed, the boom can be pulled tight against the skipper’s shoulder because the purchase uses low-profile Carbo T2s™ and small, recessed boom blocks.

Mainsheet Traveler

Fore-aft travelers with pinstop lead cars make it easy to adjust the sail. Pulling the cars forward pushes the boom into the mast, rotating the spar for a deeper pocket. Moving cars aft flattens the sail for speed in the upper wind range.

Harken Carbo Ratchets provide up to 15:1 holding power without compromising easing ability or chewing up lines.

www.idniyra.org • www.harken.com/onedesign/DN.php

The Ensign

The Ensign was designed in 1962 by Carl Alberg as a family daysailer and one-design racer. A development of a previous Alberg design called the Electra, this 22.5' fiberglass sloop features a big, deep cockpit, generous displacement and 1,200 pounds of internal lead ballast. Although you’ll never see an Ensign planing around the buoys, an overlapping genoa and large spinnaker make this “little big boat” a responsive, enjoyable tactical racer. From the beginning Class officers have worked to keep the Ensign as close to the original design as possible, with equipment modifications kept to a minimum. As a result, these boats have held their value, are easy to handle, and still win races, keeping the class vital and strong.

Mainsheet Traveler Mainsheet

This 4:1 mainsheet system features two 57 mm Carbo fiddle blocks with high-load ball bearings for low-friction operation. A pivoting exit block mounted on the boom directly above the trimmer provides powerful two-handed sheeting.

Vang Mainsheet Traveler

The stern-mounted traveler features 3:1 controls that lead forward under deck to a Cam-Matic® cleat for fast, precise trimming.

The vang features a 6:1 cascade inside a 2:1 purchase for a 12:1 mechanical advantage. This system pivots allowing crew to adjust tension on either tack.

Cunningham

The cunningham is a cascaded 4:1 system (2:1 inside a 2:1 purchase). A pivoting exit block allows access to the cunningham control line from either side of the boat.

www.ensignclass.com • www.harken.com/onedesign/ensign.php

THE INTERNATIONAL ETCHELLS

The Etchells, handled easily by three or four sailors, is one of the most popular trailerable keelboats on the water. This stable, sleek racing sloop attracts a competitive, enthusiastic following—you could find yourself racing with world-class sailors like Dennis Connor, Russell Coutts, John Bertrand, Vince Brun and Judd Smith. It’s a fiercely competitive class, and one of the quickest light-air boats built.

Mast Puller

This unique underdeck arrangement bends or straightens the mast by pulling just one line. (belowdeck)

The International Formula 18

The Formula 18 fleet is one of the fastest growing in the world. Electrifyingly quick, these double-handed, twin-trapeze and technically exciting speed machines are designed to a box rule that allows a variety of builders to manufacture similar boats with similar performance. Fair racing is insured for male, female and mixed crews by using two sizes of jibs and spinnakers and corrector weights.

The 57 mm Carbo quad block and 2632 Carbo Ratchamatic® provide the muscle for this 8:1 low-profile mainsheet system. Blocks roll freely in both directions under low loads. Ratchet mechanism automatically engages at higher loads so it is easy to hold and ease loaded lines.

This strong, lightweight self-tacking system frees up crew to perform fast, effective jibes downwind and quick, efficient tacks upwind.

Cunningham

The 8:1 cunningham system is the gas pedal on these boats. Contained in a compact package at the base of the spar, crew can power and depower the rig from the trapeze.

Mischa Heemskerk’s RIGGING TIPS By David Schmidt / Alembic Media, LLC

Rigging For Speed

Sailing fast is a combination of time in the boat, practice, time in the boat, practice, time in the boat, and smart rigging. JIB RIGGING SET-UP cascade 1:4: 351

Starting at the Jib Clew: A Harken 29 mm Carbo Ti-Lite block (Part #351) is attached to the jib’s clew via a Wichard (2470 HR) snap shackle. Jib Traveler: Use a Harken Small Boat CB car (Part #2732) that’s fitted with a Harken 29 mm Carbo Ti-Lite block (Part #351).

Jib Sheet Hardware and Lead: The sheet dead-ends at the traveler and is then lead through the block on the 2732 clew and then back to the Carbo Ti-Lite block on the traveler. On the spinnaker pole, at the base of the forestay, is a Harken eyestrap (Part #2129), which accepts a strop (and leaves room to mount the compass bracket); at the end of this strop is a Harken 16 mm fixed single block (Part #404). The jib sheet is led

forward from the Carbo Ti-Lite block to the Harken 16 mm fixed single block on the strop. The jib sheet then runs from the Harken 16 mm fixed single block through a pair of Harken swivel bases with Micro Cam-Matic® cam cleats and 16 mm sheaves (Part #462) to port and starboard on the forward beam. Jib Sheet Lead: After the jib sheet leaves the Harken swivel base Micro Cam-Matic cam cleats and 16 mm sheaves (Part #462), traveling abaft, it passes through a block, which is tied to the shackle that supports the shroud. From here, the sheet disappears into the front beam, using a similar tackle system as the cunningham. Note: There are two holes on either end of the crossbeam; the forward hole is for the cunningham system, whereas the jib system runs through the aft aperture.

FRONT BEAM:

Cunningham Set-Up: A block is attached to the underside of the sail at the luff, directly below the cunningham’s cringle (see detail image). A 2:1 cascade purchase system is created by running one end down to the base of the mast where it dead-ends at a clamcleat CL211 MKI that’s mounted on both sides of the mast’s luff groove; the other end of the 2:1 dead-ends at the top of a separate 8:1 tackle system (see detail image), creating a 16:1 purchase system. The working end of the 8:1 system exits the top of the cascade system and runs down to the base of the mast, on both sides, where it passes through a Spinlock PXR (2-6 mm) cam cleat that’s mounted as low as possible on the mast base. From here, the cunningham runs to a Harken 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348), which is attached via a strop to the forward hand’s trapeze wire. From the 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348), the continuous cunningham then runs into the front beam. In the front beam, the continuous

SPEEDTEAM SPOTLIGHT

cunningham line, as well as the continuous jib sheet, are pulled in two separate loop take-up systems. Each one uses two Harken 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348) for the line and a Harken 16 mm fixed single block (Part #404) for the bungee. This set-up ensures that all extra cunningham is immediately cleared from the deck and pulled into the front beam where it can’t get in the way. More importantly, by rigging the cunningham this way, the forward hand or the helm can easily make adjustments while out on either the port or starboard wire. To make it easier to trim the cunningham, mount trim stickers on either side of the mast (see detail image). Jib Sheet Cleat: The jib sheet cleat—a pair of Harken swivel bases with Micro Cam-Matic cam cleats and 16 mm sheaves (Part #462)—should be riveted to the port and starboard sides 462 of the front beam, in between the two jib track-support struts on either side of the mast. Mounting the dual Harken swivel bases with Micro Cam-Matic cam cleats and 16 mm sheaves (Part #462) directly abaft the jib traveler track allows the track itself to protect the swivel cleats; it also makes it nearly impossible for the spinnaker sheet to accidentally get caught under the cleats. Spinnaker Blocks: After the spinnaker sheet exits the deckmounted Harken 57 mm Carbo Ratchamatic® block (Part #2625) that’s on the deck, it runs through a Harken 40 mm Carbo Ti-Lite block (Part #2651) that’s fitted to the front beam via some lashing line and a Harken eyestrap (Part #2129). Note: this eyestrap should be fitted to the front beam, just inboard of the hiking strap (see detail image).

MAST AND MAST ROTATION:

Spinnaker Halyard Cleat: Mount a Harken Pivoting Exit Big Bullet block (Part #140) with 150 cam cleat (with aluminum jaws) at the front center of the mast so that the cleat turns towards the crew when the mast is rotated. The spinnaker halyard runs straight up the center of the mast, reducing friction. Mainsheet: Use a five-sheave Harken Carbo top block (Part #HC7668) that attaches to the boom via a webbing strop, where it is held fast by a shackle and a pull-pin. On the traveler car are two blocks. The bottom one— a triple-sheave Carbo block with beckets above the center sheave—is oriented parallel to

About Mischa For most people, the word “sailboat” evokes a romantic image of one hull, a mast, white sails and—perhaps— some brightwork. Not so for Dutch multihull sailor Mischa Heemskerk; the 36-year-old North American and European Formula 18 champion and Olympic coach has been sailing on two hulls since the age of one. Heemskerk’s self-admitted “need for speed” has seen him post many high-level F-18 finishes including two wins at the Round Texel Race, the world’s biggest catamaran race; multiple National F-18 Championships; a third at the 2008 Formula 18 Worlds; and a fourth in the 2010 F-18 Worlds.

the back beam; the top block—a double-sheave unit with a becket above one block—attaches to the lower block so that the axes of the two blocks are perpendicular (see detail image). The mainsheet is dead-ended to the uppermost becket on the lower mainsheet blocks; it then runs through the blocks, yielding a 10:1 purchase system. The mainsheet itself tapers from 8 mm line in the cockpit to 3 mm line in the tackle to save weight and minimize bending resistance in the rope. Spinnaker Halyard: To reduce friction and windage aloft, the spinnaker halyard should be just 3 mm Dyneema® in diameter for the majority of its length, starting from where it attaches to the sail before expanding to wider-diameter cordage just before it gets cleated (the wider-diameter material grips better in the cleat). At the top of the mast is a 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348). The halyard runs from the head of the sail, up through the 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348) and then down the length of the mast on its starboard profile, through the Harken Bullet cleat (Part #140) on the mast, before continuing to a Harken 29 mm Carbo AirBlock® (Part #349) that’s attached to the rear profile of the front beam. From here the spinnaker halyard is redirected aft to a Harken 29 mm Carbo fixed block (Part #348) that’s floating on a bungee cord that’s led through two holes in the trampoline, just forward of the three-point hiking strap. The spinnaker halyard is then redirected forward to a Harken 29 mm Carbo AirBlock (Part #349) that’s attached to the trampoline, just abaft the mast and port of centerline. The halyard finally disappears through a cringle in the trampoline trough the spinnaker bag, which is beside the spinnaker pole. The halyard terminates at the spinnaker, becoming the kite-retrieval line in order to pull the spinnaker into its bag. 99

The Farr 30

Farr Yacht Design had the fun and simplicity of dinghies in mind when they created the Farr 30 (formerly the Mumm 30). The 9.43-meter boat has several design features which make it fast and easy to sail, such as a carbon mast and a layout that reduces crew size. High stability and a fractional rig give the Farr 30 speed upwind, while a choice of symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnakers provides versatile control downwind. The class association upholds strict one-design rules to keep costs down while maintaining a large and competitive fleet. As of May 2008, US Watercraft Farr 30s are equipped with complete Harken winch and hardware packages.

BACKSTAY

MAINSHEET

A cascaded 16:1 backstay with a 4:1 and twin 2:1 purchases provides the power to tune the sail shape when the breeze exceeds 7 knots. The doubleended 4:1 runs forward to 29 mm Carbo AirBlocks® behind the mainsheet traveler and cleats on either side of the cockpit. Using backstay tension to add mast bend and headstay tension depowers both the mainsail and the jib.

MAINSHEET

MAINSHEET TRAVELER

57 mm Carbo Airblocks® and a ratchet block mounted on a swiveling base on the cockpit floor make the Farr 30’s 6:1 gross-tune mainsheet system easy to adjust from any angle. A 4:1 double-ended fine-tune is lead to either side of the cockpit through 40 mm Carbo blocks, resulting in a final 24:1 purchase. A pennant (dark blue) reduces the distance between blocks for a shorter mainsheet and faster trimming.

MAINSHEET TRAVELER

The Farr 30 has a double-ended captive ball bearing CB traveler system. The powerful 5:1 controls terminate on the cockpit sides next to the backstay and mainsheet for complete mainsail control by the helmsman and mainsheet trimmer. 100

INTERNATIONAL 14

The International 14 development class has its roots in England and Australia. It is one of the oldest active dinghy classes, evolving into its present form over the last century. Reaching speeds up to 25 knots, recent I14s feature an ultra-light hull, an asymmetrical spinnaker, and trapezes for both skipper and crew. Carbon gust-response rigs are less prone to damage and foiling rudders combine upwind performance with downwind stability.

VANG

The strut allows the vang to be mounted further forward on the boom, giving the crew more room and reducing forward gooseneck compression. It also partially isolates the mast from vang loads so the mast can remain straight even at full power.

self-tacking jib

The self-tacking jib track is W-shaped to curve around the mast, allowing a jib that is larger than the forward triangle. With more sail area and overlapping sails, this system is great for light air and for powering up. Similar to the 49er, the main and jib sheet share a single line for easy access by skipper and crew.

SHROUD TENSION ADJUSTERS

Mast rake and rig tension are fully adjustable from the trapeze. Two 3:1 cascades, led belowdeck from each shroud, are multiplied by an 8:1 purchase for a brawny 72:1 system.

The International 470 The International 470, designed in 1963 by 505 sailor André Cornu, is a high-performance planing dinghy for both men and women. Responsive to weight placement, this two-person one-design is tactically demanding and requires fluid coordination between the skipper and crew. The 470 is easy to sail, but racing and learning to fly the spinnaker from the trapeze provides additional challenges for sailors. The 470 made its Olympic debut in 1976, and in 1988 was selected for the Games’ first women’s sailing event.

Two-Car Mainsheet

This fast-tacking two-car system halves the distance a single car would travel. The bridle and the 2:1 side-to-side traveler controls raise and lower the floating mainsheet block for perfect mainsail twist. Mainsheet tension tightens the leech and reduces twist.

Vang

Mainsheet

The cascaded vang has a powerful 16:1 mechanical advantage. The skipper can play the vang from either side of the boat.

Spinnaker System

This system is all about speed. A 1:2 reverse purchase on the halyard quickly hoists the spinnaker while a 1:5 shock-cord halyard take-up system automatically manages accumulating line during the rapid chute deployment. A control in the cockpit drops the sail.

THE J/80

Designed by J/Boats’ Rod Johnstone, the International J/80 is a perfect choice for offshore family racing or cruising, and dingy sailors making the transition to keelboat competition. The powerful asymmetrical spinnaker is easy to set and allows this sprit one-design to plane at 15 knots with crew trimming safely from the cockpit. The fixed keel and bulb keeps the boat on its feet and user-friendly, particularly going upwind in a chop. A high boom and closed transom are additional safety factors. The J/80 is trailerable and complies with US and European towing widths. Active fleets can be found in the U.S., France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, U.K. and Sweden.

Backstay

A double-ended 4:1 purchase makes this split backstay adjustable. As the ring is pulled down, two high-strength wire blocks tighten the backstay by deflecting the legs of the bridle. The system is quick and powerful, and the fixed wires keep the mast tensioned even if the 4:1 is released.

Mainsheet Traveler

Mainsheet

With two Carbo fiddles and a pendant (yellow) to reduce the mainsheet's length, the 5:1 system is a combination of low weight and high power. The adjustable 75 mm Carbo Ratchamatic’s® ratchet instantly engages to carry higher loads, but disengages during mark roundings, jibes, and light air situations. The Harken swivel base allows cleating from any direction.

The mainsheet traveler system uses Harken's award-winning CB traveler car. Captive ball bearings are extremely low-friction and enable effortless car cleaning and installation. The doubleended control line has a 2:1 purchase, making the system fast and easy to adjust.

The 18-foot Mercury is a full-keel sloop found on the West Coast of the United States. Introduced at the 1939 World’s Fair in San Francisco, this Ernest Nunes design was built of a new breakthrough material—waterproof plywood! Fiberglass hulls were introduced in 1962 and aluminum spars in 1970. Competition in this family-oriented class is top notch with Nationals often won by male/female or parent/child crews. Active Mercury fleets can be found all along the west coast as well as the inland lakes and rivers, with most fleets hosting “test drive regattas” for interested parties.

Mainsail Traveler Controls

Jib Leads Vang

Mainsheet system

The 2:1 mainsheet system uses a 57 mm Ratchamatic® on a swivel base. In light air, this load-sensing block rolls freely, automatically engaging as loads increase and releasing instantly during mark roundings and jibes.

Mainsail Traveler Controls

This above/below deck system keeps the cover boards clutter free, and allows crew to trim the sail while hiking. 118

Jib Leads

The lash-on T2™ block, Ratchamatic® cheek, and wedged cam, reduce friction and increase holding power for effective trimming from the wire.

Vang

The vang is constructed with a 3:1 cascade inside of a 5:1 purchase for a powerful 15:1 system. It is used to control the leach of the main while reaching and running, and pivots side-to-side so it’s easy to cleat and uncleat.

M INI CLASS

6.50

The Mini 6.50

At 21.5 feet, the Mini 6.50 meter is a supercharged small keelboat that is over canvased, sports a mast almost twice its length, and has been clocked in excess of 20 knots. The active circuit culminates every two years in the Mini Transat, a solo 4,000-mile battle from France to Brazil. With 70-plus boats on the starting line, competitors range from professionals to amateur. All compete for the personal challenge and to test mental limits. The Mini is a development class designed to a box rule. Proto (one off) boats feature carbon sandwich construction and canting/sliding keels with daggerboards. Production boats, or ‘series,’ are simpler, featuring aluminum spars and fixed keels.

Running Backstay/Checkstay

Adjustable Genoa Lead Cars

Two-part system: runner/checkstay combination controls mastbend and headstay tension at two different points on the mast. The runner features 57 mm Black Magic® AirBlocks®, while the checkstay uses a floating system of lightweight Micro blocks.

Recirculating Delrin® ball bearings allow genoa lead cars to easily adjust loaded sheets from the safety of the cockpit. Low profile, lightweight Small Boat track and traveler car features 29 mm Carbo T2™ control blocks to adjust tackle. A 40 mm Carbo T2™ block on the car for a fair lead. Running Backstay/ Checkstay Adjustable Genoa Lead Cars

6:1/24:1 Mainsheet System

Features gross-trim/fine-tune system that sheets from the center of the cockpit. Carbo blocks reduce weight by 30% and are 60% stronger. 57 mm T2™ block attaches with high-strength Spectra® line. Fore and aft/awthwartship configurations minimize twisting and spread the load. The soft attachment always provides a fair lead. 6:1/24:1 Mainsheet System

INTERNATIONAL MOTH

The International Moth has one-design roots, but 30 years of developmental rules have metamorphosed the early Moth's 110 pound, flat-bottomed hull into a 22 pound speed machine. Today's 11 foot single-handed Moths foil in 6 knots and kiss 30 in heavy air. The current design earns its international name—it is the fusion of the American Moth Boat, Australian Inverlock, Swissinspired hiking wings, and a hydrofoil from the UK.

Downhaul

Due to strong apparent wind caused by the speed of foiling, flattening the sail with the downhaul makes the boat faster and easier to control. 6:1 doubleended downhauls are common, but racers like Bora Gulari, '09 World Champ and Moth speed record holder, have used Harken 16 mm blocks to create even higher purchases.

Vang

Downhaul

Vang

Vang tension is critical in generating the power to lift off. The 16:1 double-ended system also allows for “vang sheeting” upwind to control shape and twist.

Mainsheet

The Ratchamatic® ratchet disengages under light loads to allow fingertip control. Ratchamatics and T2s™ have strong ball bearings on curved races to make secondary bearings unnecessary— which means adjustments are lightningfast under any load. Many racers add an additional block for a 4:1 system to reduce sheet load.

The MUSTO SKIFF

At 15 feet (4.55 m) and a miniscule 176 lb (80 kg), the Musto Performance Skiff can reach speeds of over 20 knots, making it one of the fastest singlehanded dinghies in the world. The Musto Skiff has an asymmetric spinnaker, wings, and racks. As with all skiffs, the deck layout is extremely simple, allowing the skipper to concentrate on boat speed. Double-ended control lines are led to the racks so the sail can be adjusted on the fly. The Musto Skiff was designed by Joachim Harpprecht for the 2000 Olympic Class selection trials in Quiberon, France and won every race in the singlehanded dinghy competition. In 2006, this sensational monohull was granted ISAF Recognized Status by the ISAF Council. Today, about seven nations compete in events held throughout Europe and the UK.

DOWNHAUL/Cunningham

The 8:1 cascaded downhaul is used to bend the mast and flatten the main when sailing upwind in heavy air. In medium wind the downhaul is eased to power up the sail. In lighter winds it’s applied to open the leech.

Mainsheet

The 4:1 mainsheet system runs on a rope bridle traveler. A 57 mm Carbo Ratchamatic® on a swivel base allows the sheet to follow the trimmer as he moves side-to-side. The Ratchamatic® automatically switches off while tacking, allowing the sheet to run out freely and preventing the boat from rounding up.

Vang

The vang is used upwind in a breeze to flatten the sail and maintain leech tension. As the breeze builds the increase in vang tension allows the skipper to play the main. The vang lever is trimmed with a 2:1 block and tackle system led out to the skiff’s wings.

The International Optimist

The Clearwater Florida Optimists couldn’t run the Soap Box Derby program because of the city’s flat terrain, so they looked for a sailing alternative. In 1947 Clark Mills designed the Optimist Pram—a home-built plywood dinghy that costs less than $50. It caught on quickly. In 1958, Axel Damgaard brought the trainer to Denmark where it was modified and renamed the International Optimist Dinghy. Today, this eight-foot, sprit-rigged boat is the only International Sailing Federation approved dinghy for sailors under 16 years of age.

Opti Hook-In Halyard Block*

The Opti hook-in block allows sailors to precisely adjust halyard tension. Glass-filled nylon shell saddles mast to keep block aligned. Free-rolling 16 mm sheave with stainless steel balls handles high loads.

The Snipe

The Snipe is among the most popular one-design racing dinghies in the world, with an active international class association that attracts some of the best sailors in the world. The boat’s bendy rig and simple sail plan allows a broad range of crew combinations and weights to make this tactical racer great fun to sail.

Carbo Ratchamatic®

Whisker Pole Launching System

The Snipe uses a retractable boom-launched whisker pole. The crew deploys the pole with an automatic cleating system led through two 29 mm Carbo stand-up blocks. Two 29 mm T2™ Carbo Blocks hold up the whisker pole line.

Use this revolutionary load-sensing ratchet as a secondary mainsheet ratchet to give the skipper extra holding power upwind. As the load decreases around the weather mark, the ratchet automatically turns off for a smooth release.

The International Soling Designed by Norwegian Jan Linge in 1966, this 27' one-design carries a crew of three and has 241 square feet of sail, plus a spinnaker. Droop-hiking crews work their way around the course with special focus on strategy and boat handling. Today, a glance at the ISAF Ranking lists shows a majority of the top ranked sailors—Russell Coutts, Ed Baird, Peter Gilmour, Torben Grael, Magnus Holmerg, John Kostecki, Johan Schumann—cut their teeth racing Solings.

Backstay Controls Soling sailors rake the mast forward going downwind and so far aft going upwind the boom almost sits on the deck. This extreme fore and aft movement makes pulling in line and adjusting the backstay after rounding the leeward mark difficult. The gross-trim/fine-tune backstay system makes rounding easier as the helmsman quickly positions the masthead using the single-ended gross-trim. The helmsman or middleman makes precise adjustments using the double-ended fine-tune controls located on the side deck. Belowdeck Backstay Controls

Jib System To Jib Car Mounted to Forward Bulkhead

Jib System

The Soling has a non overlapping self-tacking jib. This makes tacking extremely easy and allows crew to concentrate on tactics. There are only two lines: the jib sheet which controls sail twist, and the traveler car which positions the sail and controls the slot. Both controls are played while sailing upwind.

SONAR

Designed in 1979 by Bruce Kirby (father of the Laser® and I-14, as well as editor of Sailing World's predecessor, Yacht Racing), the 23-foot Sonar is popular for its combination of comfort, speed, and ease of handling. This trailerable Bermuda rig, sailed by a crew of 3 to 5, seats up to 8 people and has a deep keel for stability. The Sonar’s generous cockpit appealed to both disabled and able-bodied sailors. It became Europe’s first Paralympic sailing class in 1996. The American Sailboat Hall of Fame inducted the Sonar in 2000 as a boat that is friendly to new sailors, exciting for club racers, and fun for day sailing.

Jib Halyard Fine-Tune

MAINSHEET BRIDLE

Upgrading to a bridle can make your system self-tacking in 10-20 knots and downwind while reducing the adjustments needed in other wind ranges. Simply add a second low-friction Harken 2731 car and use Spectra® strops about 28 inches long. The length of the bridle straps is key so you can sheet in hard to center the boom without closing off the leach.

Jib Halyard Fine-Tune

This high-power jib halyard fine-tune allows you to tension the luff as the wind cranks up. When you need headstay sag to power up the jib in chop and light air, the fine-tune allows quick control over headstay tension, making it easier to insert mast chocks.

The International Star

Designed in 1911 by Francis Sweisguth, the two-man Star is simple enough for the novice, but complex enough to challenge the world’s best. It has been an Olympic class since 1932. The Star features a sleek, lightweight hull and powerful sailplan. A flexible spar can be tuned to “depower” when the breeze kicks up. The large main is infinitely adjustable. One race on a Star often hooks sailors for life.

T2™ Jib Cars

Lightweight T2 blocks are drawn snug to the body of the Micro CB car for a clean deck sweep.

Jib System

“The two-speed mainsheet system helps with leeward mark roundings, jibes, and pumping the main. The load-sensing Ratchamatic® also lets me ease faster at the weather mark than a standard ratchet does.”

Vang System

—Mark Reynolds Star World Champion

Double Ratchamatic® Mainsheet

Shift gears from 2:1 to 4:1 as smoothly as a high-performance sports car by simply letting go of one line. The double swivel cam keeps both gross-trim and fine-tune close at hand. The load-sensing ratchet shuts off in light air for smooth easing.

Radial Vang Traveler

Harken’s sculpted aluminum car is machined to accommodate the tight vang radius on Star boats. A single high-load block is recessed to prevent block-to-block vanging.

The Thistle

Designed in 1945 by Sandy Douglass for racing and daysailing, the 17' Thistle has been recognized by U.S. sailing as one of the most active onedesign classes in the United States. This family-friendly boat features a plumb bow, straight sheer, thin rails and no decking and carries a lot of sail for its size, planing easily in 10-12 knots of wind. The rounded bottom provides stability, making it ideal for beginners. Since its introduction, the Thistle has changed very little. Thistle #1 is still competitive and not too long ago won the National Championships.

Vang

The 8:1 vang system ends at the center of the boat so it is easily accessible both upwind and downwind. Like any vang on a boat with a mainsail of such proportional power, vang tension helps control leach shape as measured by the top batten position, and allows the mainsheet to function as a secondary traveler.

Mainsheet system

The efficient 3:1 mainsheet system features a 40 mm switchable ratchet on the boom that can be turned on to manage heavy loads. Easily opening and closing the leach at the top of the sail is considered the Thistle’s single most important adjustment for maintaining optimum hull speed.

Mainsail Traveler Control System

This 2:1 transom-mounted system features low profile track and traveler car rigged with top-mounted sheaves. Double-ended controls on the trunk cap allow crew to trim from the rail. www.thistleclass.org • www.harken.com/onedesign/thistle.php

The TORNADO

Designed in the UK by Rodney March, the 20-foot-long Tornado was developed in 1966 as the Olympic catamaran for the ‘76 Games in Kingston, Ontario. Its two long hulls and 272 sq. ft. of sail area allow it to accelerate to hair-raising speeds of 15-20 knots, making it the fastest Olympic class boat. With the recent addition of double trapezes, a 270 sq.ft. asymmetrical spinnaker and carbon rigs, the “turbo-charged” Tornado carries a crew of two, at speeds of up to 30 knots off the wind. Known for its innovative one-design racing, the Tornado has long been considered ‘an almost perfect boat’.

SELF TACKING JIB, CASCADED 4:1

MAINSHEET TRAVELER

2:1 MAINSHEET TRAVELER

This simple system features a split line that dead-ends on two eyestraps to create one control line that brings the car to the center of the traveler track from either side of the hull.

128

SELF TACKING JIB

10:1 CARBO MAINSHEET SYSTEM

Tornado mainsheet systems can be installed inside the boom or mounted externally. Internal 9:1 cascaded systems work, but problems are difficult to fix. Most sailors prefer a 10:1 external non-cascaded system because it’s easily accessible and jam-ups can be fixed on the fly.

The 4:1 self-tacking jib provides simplified boat handling, allowing crew additional time for fast wire-to-wire tacking. Upwind in light air the traveler car is positioned near the middle of the track. As the wind builds, the car is eased to maintain speed and stability. Downwind the trimmer plays the sheet to adjust sail shape.

CUNNINGHAM 16:1 DOUBLE-ENDED

The trimmer can play this powerful double-ended system from either side of the boat, tensioning hard upwind for boat speed and easing for off wind power.

Viper 640

The Viper 640 is the fast and fun one-design that almost didn’t make it. Shortly after being named the 1997 Boat of the Year, the Viper lost its builder and went out of production. The design was so well loved that in 2005, a small group reestablished the class, recruited a new builder, and started a grassroots fleet. 20 hulls quickly grew to over 125. A keelboat in name only, the swift and highly responsive Viper 640 is a great fit for sailors looking for a modern, moderately athletic, and high-performance sportboat.

For more information on Harken hardware for the Viper, visit www.harken.com GNAV STRUT

The Viper cockpit is very clean with a gnav in place of a traditional vang. The new 8:1 Harken gnav replaces the slider system with a captive bearing car designed for compression loads. The Harken HC8418 utility car removes most of the friction to make the system more powerful, reducing the need for a very high purchase, and making it far easier to use under load.

GNAV STRUT

JIB HALYARD FINE-TUNE

JIB LEADS

JIB HALYARD FINE-TUNE

For cranking up the luff tension in fresh wind, the Viper's jib halyard is deflected through a 8:1 fine-tune. The double-ended system uses Micro Carbo Cams with X-Treme Angle fairleads, making it easy for the forward crew to adjust without leaving the rail.

JIB LEADS

The 2:1 ratchet-controlled jib sheet runs through Carbo T2s on the clew to low-profile pinstop cars for trim angle adjustments. In addition to moving the cars forward to round the foot of the jib, Viper sailors can also improve light-air performance by removing the top batten to keep the leech open.

The X-99

Mainsail Traveler

If you enjoy both class racing and cruising, the X-99 is a great choice. Launched in 1985 by X-Yachts, an amazing 100 boats were sold in the first week. To date, more than 600 of these fast 33-footers have been built, with established fleets and world class racing in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, UK, Hong Kong and Sweden. The deck layout is geared toward making the boat crew-friendly, efficient to sail, and race ready out of the box. The cast-iron keel has a lead shoe bolted underneath for a low center of gravity to keep crew off the rail. The fractional rig features spreaders raked aft 5-degrees. This allows a margin of safety when tacking or jibing without the runners on, but provides a significant performance gain when using the runners during racing.

Genoa Lead System

Carbo Racing Foil

This lightweight foil features super-smooth double foil grooves allowing the foredeck crew to work quickly during sail changes. Foils are built of high-strength, impact resistant engineering resins that are much tougher than commodity plastics.

Windward Sheeting Mainsail Traveler

The cams on the windward sheeting traveler car open and close automatically. This allows the trimmer to stay on the boat’s high side and pull the car above the centerline without releasing the leeward control line. Tack, and the car stays in the same position, ready to be pulled to the new weather side.

Adjustable Genoa Lead System

Our ball bearing genoa lead cars make it easy to adjust sails under full-sheet loads without tacking. The reduction in friction and weight savings achieved using the T2 block makes this a powerful lightweight package.

The International Yngling

This summer, the 21-foot (6.35 m) Yngling made its Olympic debut as the women’s keelboat in Athens. Designed by Jan Linge in 1967 as the little sister to the Soling, this nimble three-person racer features a well-balanced rig, responsive helm, and reacts quickly to small trim and crew weight adjustments. With an optimal crew weight between 400-500 lbs, the Yngling is a great boat for junior and averaged-sized sailors. Over 4,000 boats are sailing worldwide.

Protect your Dinghy With durable, water-resistant polyester covers and bags

Harken Canvas Covers are made in the USA with the highest quality fabrics and craftsmanship. Covers are reinforced at abrasion points and use UV-resistant materials, including heavy-duty coil zippers, webbing straps with YKK buckles, and GORE™ TENARA® thread.

Travel Deck

Also available with spar pockets. These optional padded spar pockets have hook-and-loop closures.

A travel deck cover is perfect for everyday storage—with heavy-duty shock cord in the hem, it goes on and comes off in less than a minute. When on the road, four straps with quick-release buckles pull the cover tightly over the cockpit for minimal windage.

Travel Bottom

Bottom covers are great for sailors who travel frequently. Softouch fabric protects the hull while four straps with quickrelease buckles pull the cover tight.

Mast/Boom Bag Easy to carry with shoulder strap

Envelope

Long-term storage and distance trailering can be tough on boats, but a Softouch envelope shields your entire hull from the elements and cushions it from stones kicked up from the road.

Blade Bag

Padded pockets protect fragile foil edges

Hiking Strap

Comfortable with bare feet and boots

Envelope Cover for long-term storage and distance trailering. This cover keeps your entire Opti clean and dry in any weather. It zips along three sides and the non-abrasive Softouch fabric makes it easy to slide your Opti inside. Bottom Covers are great for sailors who travel frequently. Three wide strips of high-quality foam with vinyl reinforcement protect the hull from paved surfaces and rough handling.

Travel Deck Covers are perfect for everyday storage. With heavy-duty shock cord in the hem, they go on and come off in less than a minute.

Padded Blade Bags are made with padded polyester to protect your equipment. Pockets are separated with a third ventilated pocket to hold lines, wet clothes, and extra gear. With adjustable shoulder strap and handle.
