Harken 40 mm T2 Soft-Attach Block 2149

Harken 40mm T2™ Soft-Attach Block – 2149

The Harken 40mm T2™ Soft-Attach Block 2149 is an ultra-lightweight, high-strength sailing block designed without metal shackles or rivets. Featuring a durable composite construction and soft-attachment system, it offers exceptional versatility for traveller controls, mainsheets, vangs, cascades, bridles, and other performance sailing applications where weight savings matter.

The Harken 40mm T2™ Soft-Attach Block 2149 revolutionised block design by eliminating traditional metal shackles and rivets, creating an incredibly lightweight yet remarkably strong block suitable for a wide range of sailing applications.

Constructed from high-strength composite materials, the T2™ block is engineered to deliver reliable performance while minimising weight aloft and throughout the boat. Its innovative soft-attachment design allows the block to be tied, spliced, or lashed directly to attachment points using the supplied Spectra® line, offering flexibility that traditional blocks cannot match.

The absence of metal components reduces weight, eliminates corrosion concerns, and minimises potential damage to decks, spars, and rigging. This makes the T2™ particularly popular on high-performance dinghies, skiffs, sportsboats, multihulls, and racing yachts where every gram counts.

The low-friction 40mm sheave provides smooth operation under load and accommodates lines up to 10mm in diameter. With a maximum working load of 220kg and a breaking load of 544kg, the 2149 delivers impressive strength for its compact size and minimal weight.

Ideal for traveller controls, mainsheet systems, vang purchases, cascades, bridles, control line systems, and lightweight rigging applications, the Harken T2™ Soft-Attach Block offers sailors a simple, strong, and highly adaptable solution for modern performance sailing.
