Wings have been added to my 1981 hobie 18 and also upgraded 3 wide harken mainsheet block set up. My question is this, when operating the main sheet from the bench, the angle causes the main to cleat to easily , I would like to have the main sheet "live" without cleating, how do you adjust angle to match sitting on bench?

Harken wedge blocks.

harke n wedges Fairleads and
eyestraps designed specifically for each
Cammatic model, the wedges put the
Cammatic on a 15 degree angle for ease
of cleating or releasing. The fairleads are
molded into a replacement base for each
Cam-matic. The eyestraps are designed
to be held in place over the cams by the
mounting screws.

There are adjustment screws on the sides of the block. The whole jaw assembly can pivot. Loosen a screw on each side. Slide the assembly to the desired position and re-tension the screws.
