A wide range of complete ready to fit kicker systems, all of which are custom made to your requirements, based around either the well known Harken or the new Ronstan lower assembly. In addition to the basic Harken 466 top block we have systems using the newer free-running high load top and middle blocks that make it easier to pull the kicker/vang on.
Confused by all the possible systems? Have a look at our Systems Guide which help your understand them in a simple step by step way.
System options (at the bottom of the page) are available to order the removal of one purchase, and to change the centre block type.
Basic systems using the standard Harken 466 top block. Select the Dinghy Control one for a wide choice of primary and secondary line colours. The Polytech system has a slightly harder wearing Technora secondary lines. Extend control line life by adding the optional aluminium fairlead (at bottom of the page)
Complete high end systems based around either the Harken or Ronstan lower assemblies.
These systems come with a choice of high load top blocks, or high load top and middle blocks from Harken, Allen, and Ronstan:
Harken: New from Harken is the 25mm FLY high load top block. Southeast Sailboats and sponsored sailor Micky Beckett have been using the prototype blocks since early 2024 (Micky used it at the Paris Olympics), and the production block is now available. It has a free running stainless steel sheave and a super high strength forged key.
Allen: Top blocks: The XHL top block features a stainless steel sheave/bearings. The TiiTAN block features titanium sheave and ceramic bearings for improved performance and reduced weight. The XHL middle blocks provide another incremental improvement to kicker/vang performance
Ronstan:New from Ronstan are an integrated high load top block and a double high load middle block.
Options when you order one of the complete kicker/vang systems above. Take a purchase out of the system if you wish, or change the centre block type to the more traditional Harken 'Air' block.
