[C38] Genoa turning blocks

[Rob Cornelsen]

Steve,
I bought two http://www.ronstan.us/marine5/product.asp?ProdNo=RF6751 used in like new condition after the last hurricane on ebay.  They work great - Just have to remember to lock them inside the cabin.

I'm considering adding cheek blocks between the cockpit coaming and toerail just before the pushpit to act as a turning block for my genoa sheets. I currently have a 155% genny and its longer than my deck tracks so its lead through blocks snap shackled to the toerail...it works but it's not a good/permanent solution. Does anyone have this arrangement and or a suggestion for re-rigging the sheets...and if so, could you send a picture or two? If I did a double cheek block could I also run the Asym sheets from there?


On a related note, I need to replace the 155% (but not this year :-( ) and am thinking about going to a 135%+/-...any thoughts or comments?  Given the track layout on my boat it seems like the original intent for the sail plan was for a smaller headsail.
