Deck Organization
Hardware
- Ronstan orbit blocks (50 class) attached to Dyneema lashed to bottom of mast
- What about Antel low friction rings (14mm)?
- For reefing lines, orbit blocks lashed to mast at boom level? Then down to blocks lashed to bottom of mast heading to cockpit.
- Again, can Antel's be used?
- Cleats/clutches
- Spinlock basic jammers have higher breaking load than Lewmar clutches
- After that, Lewmars offer best bang for breaking load buck
