Spinnaker Blocks

Post by yodagwb »

Entertaining the idea of a asymmetrical spinnaker. Those of you who are using a spinnaker hopefully can answer a few questions if you would be so kind. Other than attachment to the stern cleats, has anyone attached blocks to the deck and if so what kind? Also what is the working load rating of the blocks you used, ie sheet, and tack? I was entertaining the thought of using a single block with a stand up swivel deck plate for the sheets. I am still a little fuzzy on the rerouting of the halyard, I think I need to find a pic of the mast head, its a visual thing.
