Recommended Posts

Hey guys, 

I am in the process of updating the reefing system. This means i will need a bunch of new swivel blocks. 

What size can i get by with? 

Ronstan 50 series 40? HL...high load??? $tandard??

I would imagine the Ronstan 50 would be fine on the Cav 32 mainsail reefing.  It's a small main.  MWL 500kg and BL of 1,500kg.  If everything is lined up correctly and not twisted.  

Low friction rings would be ideal too.  Make sure they're nice and big to accommodate the reefing lines etc... You just need to get familiar with soft shackles and loops.
