APS Vectran Harken Halyard System |
|||
| This halyard system is one of the best performing systems available. We start with 1/8” Yale Vectrus 12, which has no stretch, runs smoothly, and has factory applied clear Maxijacket coating to prevent UV damage and reduce line damage due to abrasion and wear. We splice on a Harken 29mm T2 Single (H2146) block to one end. The block’s design allows the line to be run into and around the center of the block prior to splicing. We then whip our splice to keep things tightly in place. Now the Vectrus 12 is run through a Harken Hook-in block (EX1351H), which provides the best fit against the mast available in a block due to its contoured shape. On the sprit end of the line we use the lesser known brummel splice that cross braids the Vectrus 12 so the fibers are effectively locked and can's pull out. Additionally, we whip the splice to keep things tightly in place. To prevent the loss of the Harken hook-in block when the system is not in use on the boat, we position a black rubber grommet so the block does not slide off. |

APS Vectran Karver-Harken Halyard System |

| This halyard system is the best performing system available. We start with 1/8” Yale Vectrus 12, which has no stretch, runs smoothly, and has factory applied clear Maxijacket coating to prevent UV damage and reduce line damage due to abrasion and wear. We splice on a KB6 Karver block (extremely strong) to one end. The block’s design allows the line to be run around the center of the block prior to splicing. We then whip our splice to keep things tightly in place. Now the Vectrus 12 is run through a Harken Hook-in block (EX1351H), which provides the best fit against the mast available in a block due to its contoured shape.

Karver Mainsheet System by APS |
||||||||
|
APS Karver Mainsheet System Combine Karver KBO blocks with our APS Dyneema Shackle loops for a lightweight, low friction system that you can easily convert for a 4:1 to a 2:1 just by detaching the DSL and letter the lower blow drop to the deck. The same system can be used to make a 3:1 covert to a 2:1 for stronger sailors - just remove the lower block and tie your mainsheet off to the shackle loop. For the 4:1 system you will need 3 KBO2 blocks, 1 DSL, and a non-tapered mainsheet like Buzz or Rooster line. (The thick part of the tapered mainsheet is too wide to fit in these ultra slim blocks.) |
