[Public-List] Spinnaker Halyard length and size.

[Jonathan Bresler]

George,

Don't know if you are speaking of the mainsheet blocks on Chris Martin's
boat or the jibsheet blocks on Constance.
The jibsheet blocks on Constance are Selden PBB60's (plain bearing blocks,
Gord!)
which I got on sale at APS.   Very happy with them.  The PBB60's can handle
lines up to 14mm.

Seems that APS no longer has them on the website, but Defender has a good
price on them
