Last night I was making selections off the APS catalog to place order on all the blocks I needed...Need to replace jib halyard, clew, traveler and mast cheek blocks on my H16.

I had in mind the Harken Carbo blocks 29mm.

Is it class legal to replace jib blocks with those not provided by Hobie Cat??

Also can I use a 29mm Carbo cheek block for the mast and also be legal in class racing??

thanks!

Not into racing, but here is something that might help. I got the tielites for the jib they work great, just keep them out of the sand!

You can replace the jib blocks with anything you want.

Most racers use Harken micro blocks, not the Carbos.

They are attached to minimize the stack-up on the front crossbar:
