Megayacht Blocks
Pewaukee, Wisconsin—Harken’s introduction of the Megayacht block line makes it easy for custom yacht owners to order and re-order high-end hardware. Now owners will no longer have to include engineering lead-time when placing an order. Blocks will be stocked and available.
The Harken Megayacht line includes teardrop blocks, single and double foot blocks, and swivel blocks in three material options.
“We want to make it easy for our megayacht customers to receive parts quickly by providing them with a full line of custom yacht blocks to choose from,” commented Dane Blackburn, Harken’s custom engineering leader. “This new line will allow us to stock custom parts and have them ready for quick delivery.”
The Megayacht line includes 100 mm, 125 mm, 150 mm, and 175 mm blocks with safe working loads of 5,000 kg (11,025 lb), 7,000 kg (15,435 lb), 10,000 kg (22,050 lb), and 15,000 kg (33, 076 lb) respectively. Blocks come with a choice of aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium sideplates. All sheaves are made of 6061 T-6 Hardkote-anodized aluminum. A composite bearing system handles the primary load while Torlon® ball bearings carry the blocks side loads. The teardrop block uses a soft loop attachment allowing the block to articulate for a fair lead.
