Just bought a pair of blocks for the downhaul.
I cant quite figure out how to reeve these with the becket located where it is.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I gave those a try with no luck. Im thinking I may have to add an eyelet on top of the cam cleat and using that as a becket. not sure though... -

Becket needs to be on the bottom. What boat are you putting it on?

ya. after more experimenting I realized I need the becket on the bottom... do you think an added eyelet will suffice as a becket? Its for an H16 downhaul -

If you mean putting an eyestrap above the camcleat, you may not have room for the tie off and the uncleated line in the space of the eyestrap but it's worth a try.

I don't see how you need either becket. Start at cam cleat, go up to triple (to the side), down to cam cleat triple, then up & down twice and DEADEND on last sheave of cam cleat triple (with simple knot not allowing go thru sheave.). Pete -

Ended up using the eyestrap as the becket. works perfectly. $60 for all parts. not too bad for a H16 downhaul.
Thanks all. -

Ok... the boat unassembled. It took ages and about ten million knocks and hits with a mallet to remove a tramp. No other problems. Shall the next summer be here soon
