Category: Boats and equipment
Subcategory: Fitting

Safeguard your investment and enhance safety on board with the HARKEN Big Boat Block Sock 150 mm. Meticulously designed for the demanding conditions of big boat sailing, this essential fitting is the first line of defense for your vessel, your equipment, and your crew. When performance and protection are paramount, trust HARKEN to deliver an uncompromising solution that preserves the integrity and beauty of your boat.

The primary purpose of this block sock is to provide a cushioned, protective layer over your high-load Harken blocks. During tacks, gybes, or in heavy seas, unsecured blocks can swing with considerable force, posing a risk of damage to your deck, coachroof, and other surfaces. This sock effectively absorbs impacts, preventing costly scratches, dents, and chips in your valuable gelcoat or teak decking. It also protects the block itself from cosmetic and structural damage, extending the life of your hardware.

Beyond protecting the vessel, this block sock significantly enhances crew safety. An accidental impact from a heavy, swinging block can cause serious injury. By encasing the hardware in a soft, padded cover, you create a safer environment on deck, allowing your crew to move with greater confidence, whether during a high-stakes regatta or a peaceful coastal cruise. It also helps to dampen the constant clatter of hardware, contributing to a quieter and more enjoyable sailing experience.

Foam-padded block socks slip over your hardware to protect your blocks, deck, and crew.

Fits blocks: 3024, 3025.
