Breaking Harken's Expectations

A rigging plate that opens? How does it work? Where are the weak points? Rich Siemer is the product director at Harken and I got to ask him anything I wanted! We broke it together and learned a lot! I always get stoked when a brand works very directly with me. I like showing them I don't bite and it's not a game of "gotcha" but I'm a curious cat and I want to understand the gear. I didn't hold back and Rich answered all my questions. Their MBS on this rigging plate is based on the worst case scenario, but often times MBS is based on the best case scenario. That is why it breaks so high! Learning all this from the source is helping us make more helpful content. Thank you Harken. Buy an Origin TT at https://hownot2.com/products/harken-o...
