New Harken Blocks for the MainSheet

Post by zeida »

Has anybody tried yet any of the new generation Harken blocks, the ones that are being advertised as "super purchase power"..? I am trying to find ways to get the main and genny sheets to run easier with less effort and it seems that these new blocks may help. Appreciate anybody's comments on the subject.

I haven't used the blocks you're talking about but when I put a new cabin top traveler on a couple of years ago I also put all new blocks on. I bought Harken ones but big ones -- 4" ones. At first these looked like overkill but the lines run through them easily even when heavily loaded. I'm glad I spent the extra money.
