Harken Stand Up Protector

HARKEN Stand Up Protector | Essential Rigging for Snag-Free Sailing

Elevate the performance and efficiency of your deck layout with the HARKEN Stand Up Protector. A crucial fitting for any serious sailor, this simple yet highly effective component is designed to solve the common problem of blocks flopping on deck, which can lead to fouled lines and inefficient trimming. By keeping your blocks correctly oriented and upright, this protector ensures that your lines are always ready for quick, smooth adjustments, whether you´re racing around the buoys or cruising in variable conditions. It´s an indispensable piece of boat equipment that enhances both safety and performance.

Optimize Your Deck and Prevent Snags

The primary benefit of the HARKEN Stand Up Protector is its ability to guarantee optimal block orientation. These protective tubes hold the block in a vertical position, preventing it from twisting or lying flat on the deck. This ensures a fair lead for your sheets and control lines, dramatically reducing friction and eliminating the risk of frustrating line snags or chafe during critical maneuvers. Your mainsheet, traveler, and vang systems will operate with greater speed and reliability, allowing you to focus on sailing your best.

Durable, Long-Lasting Construction

Made of durable, flexible PVC, stand-up boots hold blocks up without snagging lines. This specially chosen material is engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment, offering excellent resistance to UV degradation, saltwater, and impact. The inherent flexibility of the PVC allows for effortless installation; the boot simply slides over the shackle post or mounting point, creating a secure and stable base for the block. This robust construction not only protects the block itself from wear and tear but also helps to cushion the deck from potential damage. The 370 fits 75 mm Carbo blocks, ensuring a perfect integration with your existing Harken hardware for a clean and professional rigging setup.

This essential fitting is ideal for a wide range of applications on board, including mainsheet systems, traveler controls, vangs, cunninghams, and any other rigging where a block needs to remain upright for immediate and efficient use. By investing in this small but vital upgrade, you are investing in smoother sailing, increased longevity for your equipment, and a safer, more organized deck.
