Does not look like Defender carrys the Racing line. At least the blocks they are calling racing are not the ones I am using. Look here fior the 80mm.

Damn, those are about three times the price of the ones I bought. I guess you gets what you pays for...

 

[ted_reshetiloff]

What you should do is figure out what the working loads you are going have will be. Then you can find suitable blocks. Harken has a recommendation page on thier site where you can plug in your boat and see which blocks they reccomend. I am not a big fan of harken stuff but you can see what safe working loads they recommend then look at Lewmar, Ronstan, Garhauer etc. What are you using the blocks for?

When you raise the main hatch in port do you have to loosen the mainsheet.

Right now the vang interferes with opening that hatch. I am going to flip it 180 degrees so that it opens aft.
