[quote=samc99us]Wow, that's a fair bit cheaper. Then I checked the working loads. 260 lbs. In my case that is insufficient. I am applying 360 lbs of load to this block in a 2:1 configuration. Might be OK for the less serious sailor who can afford a failure.
We're racing this boat offshore, and the "name brand" blocks are known to fail. Hence the reason for the antal ring method, those have a MUCH lower failure rate. Having a block fail offshore with 30 frenchmen bearing down on you...yeah not for me.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by samc99us on Aug 08, 2013 - 02:29 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
