Etchells parts

Prices and stock are live from our catalogue.

Harken part numbers cross-checked against Harken's published one-design deck layout for the Etchells (checked 2026-11-04).

Parts marked "Sized for this boat" are chosen from the manufacturer sizing guides published on our Selection Guides pages (Harken winch chart, Forespar pole guide, Harken mainsheet guide, Schaefer hardware chart) using the published dimensions of the Etchells. They are not specified by the class rules; check your class rules for limits before racing.

Rope sold by the foot is added at the cut length shown on the card.
