I'm New To This Forum, And I've Gotten Lots Of Good Advice Already! Thanks So Much To All. My Question Is. Is There Really A Big Difference Between The Stock Main Sheet System For A 14 And The 5:1 With 2.25" Blocks Murray's.com Sell. |

if you have the original blocks on your 14 then yes, but there is no difference in the blocks from murrays and Hobie which provides this site for free. I would get a harken 40mm carbo top and a 2.25" lower. call your dealer and ask for part number H2640(upper) and H194(lower) this will give you a 6:1 super low profile mainsheet system, I would also get a new mainsheet while your at it! If your dealer isn't close enough to drive to give them a call, I do not know any dealer that does not do mail order. |

Is a 6 to 1 really needed on a 14? I understand that there might be some little people sailing the 14 but go to the gym! Kidding, what is the point of install a 6 to 1 other than just lightening the load on your hands? Am I missing something important here? |

in fact, i switched to 6:1 low profile and liked it because I could get the boom closer to the traveler, but I hate the extra line that I have to sheet in with the 6:1 as opposed to stock blocks seriously I know the length isnt that much different, but when you drop it or want to make a quick 180 from a broad reach to a beat in a small lake and you need to take it in in a hurry, it can be really frustrating. i might switch back this summer |

I got a really nice extra 6:1 system with my new Nacra 5.2. It already has harken blocks on it so I gave the extra system to my g/f who is currently sailing the Hobie 14 that I had and is looking to buy it from me. She loves it!! The 6:1 system makes it alot easier for her to deal with the 14, so I guess there is a use for them! |
