Hi,

We're moving from a H18 to a Getaway and want to bring the Oxen blocks with us. Has anybody fitted Oxen blocks to the Getaway (for the jib sheets)?

I'm guessing if somebody has they've also fitted jib car travellers or similar like others have posted here H16 style.

Love to see some pics/hear your experience.

Thanks!

I have often wondered about putting the 16 style jib tracks on the Getaway. It would not be hard to do, the questing is would it make enough of a difference for the time and cost involved? I think my time and money would be better spent on putting a reacher jib on the boat. You could run a wire under the tramp where the two holes are and use that to string a block for the reacher....then again why has no one do that yet.... :?:

Maybe get a used 16 jub and put that out there without the battens in it.
