Steve Orlebeke, Harken USA's Engineering Manager, introduces us to the new 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 - a design that came from experience. This twing block ensures trimmers can rig their sheets and blocks efficiently and safely. It's compact and lightweight while still being able to handle lines up to 12mm. Use it as a twing block or loop it on a padeye for a snatch block.
Steve's favorite features? The ability to open and close the block one-handed means one hand for the rigging and one hand for the boat, and hearing that spring-loaded "click" when closing the block means you know it's properly closed, even in the heat of the moment.
