As I gather parts to get my new (to me) Getaway back on the water, I’m wondering if there’s anything to be gained by “upgrading” the mainsheet blocks or should I just buy new stock Hobie blocks?

Thanks!

Get the hobie mainsheet and blocks. Works fine. Plenty of mechanical advantage and low enough profile that you can get the mast raked far enough back without two blocking the mainsheet.
