We've been using the turning blocks on Optimist, and Like Greg have found that leading the lazy sheet around the winch as it goes out eliminates the Jam on the turning blocks.
I'm curious about the use of these blocks with the Spin Sheets. We use a snatch block on the rail, and lead from that to the trimmer's hands, or to the secondaries when the wind's up. How do you guys use the turning blocks for the spin sheets?
We are rebuilding the deck beneath the turning blocks---- much wet, rotted balsa.
