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

The Harken 6269 is a 60mm Element Double Block with Swivel/Locking Shackle, designed for sailors who demand proven Harken engineering at an accessible price point. The Element series strips away everything that doesn't contribute to durability or strength, delivering a robust, purpose-built sailing block for cruising and performance cruising applications.

The sideplates are constructed from forged aluminum shaped into compound curves, providing exceptional structural strength while protecting the sheave from damage. A hardcoat-anodized finish on the sideplates resists corrosion for years of reliable service in harsh marine environments. The composite journal bearing sheave further resists corrosion, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance.

The swivel/locking shackle head offers versatile mounting options — the removable headpost lock allows the shackle to be fixed in one of two orientations at 90 degrees to prevent line twist, or removed entirely to allow the block to swivel freely.
