When it comes to upgrading and picking a new ratchet block there are many options you can choose from.
The Harken 57mm is one of the most popular ratchet blocks on the market with most new boats from Laser and RS coming new with this block. The Carbo design is lightweight at 85g and is durable with a 5-year warranty making it a great option for your boat. This fits up to 10mm rope so is compatible with most dinghies. Harken 57mm Carbo Ratchet Block
The Allen 60mm is a relatively new block with a different design philosophy from the Harken block. The larger sheave allows up to 12mm rope so great for all sheets on most dinghy and keelboats. Having a waved sheave offers up to 40% more grip without adding additional wear to the rope. Allen 60mm Pro Ratchet with Wave Sheave
The 60mm Selden ratchet block is the most affordable of the 3 with a carbon fibre reinforced sheave over the other block's aluminium sheave this different-shaped sheave is designed to work with a range of sizes of lines. This block gives you the option to turn the ratchet off to have a free flowing block in lighter airs. Selden 60mm Manual Ratchet Single Block

I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Nice-looking bung, all in one piece. No more looking for the bung when you have let it drain from the last time, and bought this to create a second drain socket in my Solo.
They have good paddings
It fits exactly fine to laser pico. Straps are very usefull. Hole at the back helps you store your upper mast easily under the cover. Looks very durable. Delivery was very fast. Thanks
Product as described and very prompt delivery
Usual harken good stuff
Easy to find, quick dispatch, on the boat now.
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
