Harken 29 mm T2 Soft-Attach Block 2146

The Harken 29mm T2™ Soft-Attach Block 2146 is an ultra-lightweight, high-strength composite block designed without metal shackles or rivets. Featuring Harken's innovative soft-attachment system and supplied Spectra® lashing line, it delivers versatile, low-friction performance for traveller controls, mainsheets, vangs, cascades, and other lightweight sailing applications.

The Harken 29mm T2™ Soft-Attach Block 2146 is part of Harken's revolutionary T2™ range, engineered to maximise strength while minimising weight. By eliminating traditional metal shackles, pins, and rivets, Harken created one of the lightest and most versatile sailing blocks available for modern performance sailing.

Constructed from high-strength composite materials, the T2™ block offers impressive durability and load capacity while significantly reducing overall rigging weight. The lightweight design is particularly valuable on dinghies, skiffs, multihulls, sportsboats, and racing yachts where minimising weight can directly improve performance.

The innovative soft-attachment system allows the block to be tied, spliced, or lashed directly to a wide variety of attachment points using the included Spectra® line. This flexible mounting system enables cleaner rigging solutions and easier installation in locations where conventional shackles may be impractical.

The low-friction 29mm sheave delivers smooth and efficient line handling while accommodating ropes up to 8mm in diameter. Despite weighing only 12 grams, the block offers a maximum working load of 150kg and a breaking load of 454kg, providing an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.

Ideal for traveller controls, mainsheet systems, vang purchases, cascades, bridles, and control line applications, the Harken 2146 T2™ Soft-Attach Block is a popular choice for sailors seeking lightweight, reliable, and highly adaptable rigging solutions.
