David, I just bought the Harken 57 mm Carbo Ratchmatic Triple / 150 Cam-Matic / Becket Harken part number 2630 Lower and a Harken 57 mm Carbo Triple / Swivel / Becket part number 2605 upper block rigged it as a 7:1 and am very very happy with the upgrade. They say these blocks are a bit hard to adjust the cleating angel but I can not say as I have not had a need to do so yet. Also, I got 44' of Maffioli Swiftcord 9MM What an upgrade from the orig Sea Way blocks. I found a place that sells this equipment at a fraction of the price but am reluctanct to publize <-- this info as I made that mistake on Catsailer.com and have decied not to do this again. Good luck Sam |

David, 2.25 inches divided by 0.0396 (one millimeter) is 57 millimeters and some change. Yes the 57mm or 2 1/4" blocks are the way to go. Gives you a shorter stack height from traveller car to boom, allowing for more mast rake to depower the rig. |

I used the 40mm carbo top and the 2.25 harken on the bottom, this is the best system I have used yet! Step down to 5/16" line and 1/4" on the jib Thanks, Brad Stephens www.sunjammers.com <-----online store coming!!!
