The Harken 6260 60mm Element Single Block with Swivel/Locking Shackle delivers proven Harken engineering and performance at an exceptional value. Designed for sailors who demand reliability without compromise, the Element series strips away everything that doesn't contribute to durability or strength, resulting in a capable, corrosion-resistant sailing block built to last.
The forged aluminum sideplates feature compound curves that maximize structural integrity while keeping weight to a minimum. A hardcoat-anodized finish on the sideplates provides superior resistance to the harsh marine environment. The composite journal bearing sheave is engineered to resist corrosion and deliver smooth, consistent line movement over a long service life.
The integrated swivel/locking shackle is a standout feature — it locks in two directions to prevent line twist, or can swivel freely depending on the application. A removable headpost lock allows the shackle to be fixed in position or released to swivel, giving sailors versatile attachment options on deck.
