Neil,
Looking at purchasing a Harken 2135 ratchet block. Any advice on types?
Here is a Ratchet block offered by one of my product sponsors.
Nautos USA I have ocean sailed for years with Nautos blocks, sheets and cleats, as well as their rigging hardware (Tangs, bails, etc.etc.)
This is an awesome block that has worked without failure or issues for years on a salt water raced Hobie 16. Hobie's are notorious for tearing up blocks and these stand the test of time and performance. They have outlasted all my Harkins, Ronsatns and Scheafers. All of my rigging now solely consists of
Nautos products!
I'm sure you will be more than happy with it, and the price!
This is a link to the block below.
