I just broke the top (boom attatched) double Harken block. So its time to replace the whole system. I'm strongly considering upgrading to 6:1 purchase with the Lewmar 60mm (2 3/8") series triple racing blocks (probably the high load versions). I sail in a lot of wind so strength is important. I've had some trouble uncleating the mainsheet when there's a big load on it. I'm not sure whether to have an 80mm (3") fiddle or block on the bottom,etc. Also, one nagging problem is all that line that needs to be brought in fast at the leeward mark. Does anybody use a gross and fine tune system?? Comments and suggestions?? |
