[quote=smfinley]The new auto racheting blocks are nice. Ratchet under load, free spin when you let out line. Where my old seaway blocks would not want to release. The downside to going to 6:1 from 5:1 is the increased line to deal with. About 20% more line to pull in and let out as you adjust the main, plus or sitting on the tramp to manage. The benefit is easier to pull in under heavy load.
I have 10:1 on my boat, and am thinking about using an 8:1 I already have on light wind days to cut down on the extra line.[/quote]
