The Harken 80mm Single Mastbase Swivel Element Block uses sideplates that combine forged aluminum with compound curves for strength, giving it a modern look without sacrificing the robustness a working block needs.
The design pairs the minimum amount of metal needed to protect the sheave with a proven journal bearing, which is why Element blocks are priced noticeably lower than Harken’s other block lines at the same size.
Hardcoat-anodized sideplates resist corrosion, and a tough composite bearing sheave holds up to long-term service without the rust issues a metal bearing would eventually show. Built as a mastbase model, it mounts directly at the masthead for halyard turning rather than as an inline block. Rated to a 4850-lb maximum working load. Explore more sailing hardware.
