The diagram you show has two triples and one single. Mine has two quads.

This is exactly the rig I have:

8:1 Beachcat

This is Harken's page that shows this setup:

harken.com/rigtips/mainsheet.php

No where on Harken's (or anybody else's site) can I find reeving instructions for this particular setup.

technically that is a 7:1 setup in the picture Paul. I run two 72mm quad carbo-air bblocks and the reeving is alittle different. I have tried several setups and by trial and error found one that doesnt interfere when hauled in tight.Let me get back to you when I get my camera out to where my boat is.I know the middle two sheeves are the last to be reeved, just to keep everything from binding sideways, will get u some pics.

I'm confused, I guess you all (oldsalt & shawn) are making comments on this diagram?


Two questions...
how many sheaves are in the upper block?
how many total sheaves are in the lower portion?

I guess you have 8 ,my bad. I am used to 16 low profile sets. My 18 setup is two quads with a becket on the lower ratchetblock.
