Hey Folks -
Recently acquired my first sailboat- a '79 Hobie 14 ...sans a mainsheet block system unfortunately.
I've done a lot of research and seen a lot of conflicting information / parts that are no longer made. Looking for some clarification. Worth noting I'm in Canada, would be great to source from here to avoid import fees.
Planning to run it 6:1, with a Harken 40mm triple upper block.
I'd like to run a 57mm triple block as the lower - but I'm not sure what folks use now from Harken, or anywhere really.
Here is what I am planning to buy:
https://ca.binnacle.com/Harken-57-mm-Ca ... _info.htmlWill this work? Does it need to be modified to attach to the traveller? It doesn't have a ratcheting system, but I'm assuming that isn't essential for recreational day sailing.
Any insight is helpful. Thanks!
Kristian
