As one of Harken´s most versatile micro pulleys, the 227A is engineered to create powerful purchase systems. The combination of two sheaves and an integrated becket (a connection point for the line´s dead end) makes it a cornerstone for building 4:1 or 5:1 purchase systems. This is ideal for applications requiring significant mechanical advantage, such as vangs, cunninghams, outhauls, and traveler controls. Its lightweight yet robust build ensures it adds minimal weight aloft while offering impressive strength, making it a favorite for dinghies, small catamarans, and for lightly loaded control lines on larger keelboats. The smooth, rounded surfaces prevent line chafe and wear, extending the life of your running rigging and ensuring consistent performance over time.
