Harken 80mm Element Stand-Up Block – 6280

The Harken 80mm Element Stand-Up Block (6280) is engineered for high-load applications on cruising and performance sailboats. Designed with forged aluminum sideplates and a tough composite sheave, this stand-up block delivers exceptional strength, durability, and smooth line handling under heavy loads.

Part of Harken’s rugged Element series, the 80mm block is ideal for sheets, halyards, and control lines where reliability and performance matter most. The stand-up configuration keeps the block upright and properly aligned, reducing line friction and improving efficiency on deck.

• Forged Strength: The sideplates are made from forged aluminum with compound curves, providing exceptional strength in a contemporary, streamlined profile.

• Corrosion Resistance: Sideplates are hardcoat-anodized, and the sheave is made of a tough composite material, making it highly resistant to the salt and sun.

• Proven Bearing: Utilizes a journal bearing sheave that spins on a stainless steel axle, a simple and reliable design that handles high static loads efficiently.

• Economic Value: By focusing on the essential protection of the sheave, the Element line is priced significantly lower than Harken's premium ball-bearing blocks while maintaining Harken's legendary durability.
