Forged
The beautiful stainless steel shackles we use on Harken® blocks are available separately. We have increased the range in both configurations and sizes.
Stamped Shackles
The 072, 138, and 246 shackles are used on most of the Small Boat blocks. They are also useful for a wide range of other applications.
Snap Shackles
The 111, 112, and 1584 snap shackles fit a wide variety of blocks and make them removable. Many use a snap shackle on the lower vang block so that it can be moved from the mastbase to the toerail to use it as a preventer.
U-Adaptor
The 093 U-adaptor allows blocks with 3/8 in (10 mm) posts to be attached to swivel bases or to other blocks with 3/8 in (10 mm) posts. The 1598 U-adaptor allows blocks with 9/16 in (14 mm) posts to be attached to swivel bases or to other blocks with 9/16 in (14 mm) posts.
Loups
Developed for Harken® by Aramid Rigging in conjunction with Yale Cordage, LOUPS™ are ready-made soft attachments that replace heavy stainless steel shackles on racing and cruising boats. Weight savings on large offshore boats can be as much as 200 lb (91 kg).
Strong and lightweight, LOUPS™ are constructed using multiple coils of tough Dyneema® covered with Spectra®—one of the most durable materials made. An annealing process ensures loads are equal on all coils. Colored tracers on the cover specify LOUPS™ strength by indicating the number of Dyneema® coils. When tracers fade LOUPS™ need to be replaced.
Most LOUPS™ configurations are made by taking the block apart. If the block can't be opened, as in the case of a Straphead block, for example, a pin called a "Dogbone" joins the LOUPS™ to itself.
