Harken 6269 60mm Element Double Block with Swivel/Locking Shackle

The Harken 6269 is a 60mm aluminum Element Series double block featuring a swivel and locking shackle, engineered for sailors who demand durability and smooth line handling at a competitive price point. Built with forged aluminum sideplates shaped into compound curves, this block delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance without the grand prix price tag.

The locking shackle can be fixed in two positions at 90 degrees to each other or released to swivel freely — preventing line twist and giving you flexible rigging options on the water. A removable headpost lock makes switching between fixed and swivel modes quick and tool-free.
