The old mainsheet setup wasn’t good enough for me. There wasn’t enough puchase power to sheet and ease the main by hand, without the use of a winch. I want to be able to do it much more quickly than the winch setup will allow. Also, the old blocks were worn out (high friction).
We spent a small fortune on seven new high-tech blocks to fix the system, and it works like a dream. It can be sheeted in and out by hand even in heavy wind, and it makes the job of trimming the main quick and pleasant–which incidentally means that it gets adjusted and fine-tuned much more frequently.
