Harken Standard Carbo-Cam® Kit w/Wire Fairlead

The Harken Standard Carbo-Cam® Kit with Wire Fairlead is a purpose-built rigging assembly designed for sailors and marine professionals who demand lightweight performance and reliable line control. This kit pairs Harken's fiber-reinforced 326 Carbo Cam with a 298 wire fairlead, delivering the low-profile handling and precision grip required in demanding sailing and marine recovery operations.

At just 54 grams (2 oz.), the Carbo-Cam Kit offers exceptional weight savings without sacrificing strength. The maximum working load of 91 kilograms (200 lbs.) accommodates typical single-line applications on small to mid-size vessels and rigging systems. Wire fairleads maintain a consistently low profile while holding the line close to the cleat, preventing chafe and ensuring smooth load transitions during active sailing or recovery maneuvers. The fiber-reinforced construction balances durability with minimal weight penalty—a critical advantage when every ounce matters on deck or in high-wind conditions.

This kit serves racing sailors, cruisers, and marine technicians who prioritize efficient line management and deck space optimization. Wire fairleads are favored in salt-air environments where corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics matter equally. The compact 3 x 2 x 5-inch footprint fits tight quarters on cabin trunks, rails, and pulpit installations. Whether rigging a coastal cruiser, managing recovery lines on a rescue vessel, or optimizing a racing deck, this Harken assembly delivers proven performance at a weight penalty that coastal and offshore operators appreciate.
