Hey Mark, Are you racing this weekend? I think there will be a big fleet and it should be a fantastic day for a sail. If so, let me swing by you before the start so I can pick up that ratchet block. With the block, my rigging should be complete. This race will be the first time my old Chrysler has sailed in 15 years or so. I have yet to have both jib and main up at the same time, even at the dock. Hopefully I remembered to put all the pins and keys back in her after her restoration. Hope to see you on the water! Geo
