Common ever since the Lewmar lawsuit, I would think.

Harken do make industrial gear too, so it's not inconceivable customers who know the brand from safety ropes side see the name and pick up a tiny tie lite block thinking it's designed for the same purpose.

Have you seen the disclaimer at the bottom of that Harken ad?  |

But when you're 60 plus and have arthritic hands you won't be able to hold the sheets without cleats

I'm 52 and falling apart, and what I've found is that my reaction times have slowed enough that if I cleat a main, I'll have tipped the boat in by the time I've freed it.

So, new Harken cleat fitted and it has done the trick. So much better!
I'll keep an eye on it to see if it changes, but seems pretty solid. The old one must have been damaged in some way. Edited by mozzy - 05 Apr 18 at 10:11am |
