Harken 4:1 Main Sheet System

Murrays Part# 28-041-57b

The Murrays Hobie low profile 4:1 main sheet system for the Hobie Wave and Hobie 14.  By Adding a fairlead and a single block to the back side of the cleat on the base block we have made a low profile main sheet system.  We have also replaced the upper fiddle block with a double block which makes it even more compact.  The result is a lightweight, low profile and very strong, made with 40mm Harken Carbo AirBlocks.  Carbo Airblocks have an enormous working range, with a higher working load than standard blocks, and they are lighter in weight!

Carbo blocks have 2 modes, free and ratcheting. The ratcheting mode will help with loads on the line and makes the line much easier to hold under tension.  The free mode is ideal for light wind sailing and the ratcheting mode is ideal for higher winds when you would like a little assistance with the load on the line.

**Mainsheet line not included**

Note:

The Hobie Wave mainsheet is 35' of 5/16 or 8mm line. 

The Hobie 14 mainsheet is 42' of 8mm line.
