Description
The Harken 40mm Protexit™ Double Exit Block is a great solution for sailors seeking efficiency and reliability in high – load systems. Engineered with precision, this compact block is designed for applications where multiple lines need to run smoothly and efficiently through a single system.
The double exit design allows for the management of two lines simultaneously, making it ideal for halyards, control lines, or outhauls. When you race hard, and you rip through hoists and douses sailing W-L legs all the time, you should expect to start wearing through the sideplates of your halyard exit block right? Wrong! Thanks to Harken Protexit™ blocks, wear from side angle loading is not inevitable.
Protexit’s all-aluminium, wear-resistant housing carefully ushers line in and out no matter the angle. There’s more: Protexit blocks offer higher working loads than any small boat exit blocks we’ve ever made. The 40mm size is compact and versatile, making it ideal for use in tight spaces, without any sacrifice upon strength or performance.
With a high load capacity, it is built to handle heavy loads without compromising on smooth performance, making it suitable for performance sailing and racing. Its low friction bearings deliver seamless line movement, perfect for precise adjustments and enhanced efficiency.
Protexit aluminium sheaves rotate on sleeve bearings with Delrin® sideload balls so they don’t deform in extreme conditions, while reducing wear on the halyard too.
Whether you are rigging a competitive racing yacht, or are upgrading your cruising setup, the Harken 40mm Protexit™ Double Exit Block offers unparalleled reliability and functionality to optimise your sailing experience.
