| Post subject: | Main Sheet hardware Question |
Hey everybody, I have a Hobie 14 Turbo (with a battened jib not roller furled) that still has the old 4 to 1 Seaway blocks, and when it's really blowing I have a hard time getting block to block (must be getting old). So, I'm thinking about a new sheeting system, my question is what should I go with, find a sixteen owner who is upgrading their 5 to 1 system and buy their old Seaways (cheapest but still has vertical stack height issues), buy a new 5 to 1 low profile Harken setup, or buy a new 6 to 1 low profile Harken setup (most expensive, but tranferable if I ever move up to a 16)? Or would 6 to 1 be overkill on a 14? Thanks for any advice. -------------------- Ryan McHale Hobie 14 (battened jib) |

I know many of the racers (and those that own both 16's and 14's) use the 6:1 Harken system with no problems. I'm still using the orginal Seaways, but have a set of the Hobie 16 5:1 Seaways in the garage if my 4:1's ever blow out. |
