Harken Laser® Traveler Blocks |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Laser boom and traveler blocks made by Harken from stronger materials and ball bearings where needed. Available in a kit or individually.
In order to install the boom blocks, you will need to remove both eye straps holding your current blocks on by drilling out the rivets. Upon reinstalling the eye straps with the new Harken blocks you will need to do a little work.
Kit includes stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers for eyestraps, replacement gooseneck end boom plug and rivet (you will usually destroy the old plug while trying to remove it - plus a new plug gives a tight fit on the gooseneck pin), and special small diameter waxed twine. Includes complete photo instructions.

Laser® Traveler Blocks |
|||||||||||||||
 |
Standard (class-legal) traveler setup for the Laser.
The smaller traveler block is the lower piece of the assembly, that travels along the traveler line. The larger traveler block is the upper piece of the assembly, that the mainsheet goes through. To keep the assembly permanently joined while sailing, we recommend installing shrink tubing (APS Part #: CMF261 - see next product below) over the sister hooks to keep them together. Cleaner and more reliable than tape. |

Shrink Tube for Laser® Traveler Blocks |
|||
 |
No need to create a sticky mess using duct-tape to keep your traveler blocks joined. We will provide you with a length long enough to seal two sets of blocks. Just cut, join blocks, and apply heat to shrink up to 50 percent (heat gun works best). |

Laser® Traveler Cleats |
|||||||||||||||
 |
Used for the traveler, cunningham and outhaul controls: - Black Hard Anodized aluminum clam cleat is found on 1999 and newer Lasers. Hard anodizing is more resistant to corrosion and holds lines better. - Standard silver coated aluminum clam cleats - 1998 and prior. - Black nylon economy clam cleats -- OK for recreational use, but we don't recommend these for racing due to their limited holding power. |

Traveler Lines - Racing and Club |

Standard Traveler length is 12' Line is sold by the foot. Racing Setup: Yale Vectrus 12 - 3/16" Diameter Vectran is a hi-tech 12-strand line with no stretch and a decent hold in the traveler cam cleat. Lower traveler block also slides quickly and easily over this line. Ideal for Laser's that are actively racing for maximum performance throughout any wind range. Does not absorb water. Paraloc Shark - 5/32" Diameter Shark was developed as a heat/abrasion resistant sheet. Thanks to its Vectran core, Shark guarantees minimal stretch. A Technora cover provides great abrasion resistance that will stand up against your traveler blocks. Dinghy Control Line - 3/16" Diameter Dinghy Control Line is a polyester cover with a Dyneema Core, a high quality design and extremely durable. It doesn't become stiff, even with a tightly woven cover it's flexible. Great for a traveler that will stand up to high loads and abrasion. Club Setup: Marlow Excel Racing - 3/16" Diameter Excel Racing is a polyester covered line with a Dyneema core, providing minor stretch with a good hold in the traveler cam cleat. The lower traveler block slides well over this line. Ideal for Laser's that are occasionally racing or club's, as this line is more durable than the Vectrus 12 because of its cover. Will absorb some water in the cover. |
