[quote=erice]the ratchets help hold the load when non-cleated
my 17foot nacra with a bigger jib than the p16 and the jib blocks it came with had no ratchets, the loads were never too high and as stated it was mainly cleated anyhow
i've since replaced those blocks with the correct harken blocks but the ratchet switches are loose and turning on the pin so the ratchet can't be engaged without pliers.............not missing them at all <!-- editby --><em>edited by: erice, Jun 22, 2009 - 11:28 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
