Typhoon rear mainsheet blocks

Post by Simonr »

Good day, I am in need of replacing the rear mainsheet blocks on my typhoon . They are sheafer but I dont have the part number They are spring loaded and have the 4 screw mounts. They are not listed with the 03-72 genoa blocks and I cant find them at the usual suspect websites . Thanks for your help

I have two OLD schaeffer standing blocks that I am willing to part with. I don't know the model number, but they were used on my Great Pelican as mainsheet blocks. The small diameter of the sheave is 1 1/4" the large diameter is about 1 1/2". They are spring loaded, square based, with four screw holes. Does that sound like what you are looking for?

You can request a Schaefer paper catalog here:

I don't own a Ty but from what I remember they have two "stand-up swivel blocks"

Hopefully this link will get you to the Schaefer selection:

You may want to check that the mounting hole pattern hasn't been changed.

If you need to do mounting modifications anyway you may want to consider blocks from Garhauer (my favorite) or Harken also.
(I would also recommend getting a paper catalog for Garhauer and/or Harken if you decide to go that route).
