[quote=jonathan162]Thanks for the link. That isn't terribly unconventional - I just hadn't seen that Nacra sheave box. It's not substantially different from the pair of back-to-back Harken bullet blocks I have, unless users report that having the two sheaves in line with each other is somehow an improvement. What I find more interesting is that Nacra teardrop+tube ring. I'd certainly be up for trying those out.
But what I [i]don't[/i] like about that one is the same thing I dislike about the more common style like this one:

There's something that's always rubbed me the wrong way - aesthetically - about clam cleats out in free space vs. being bolted down to something. I just don't like it. So I use a Harken 244 (V-jam block) on top instead, which also has two sheaves, giving me 3:1 on the height adjustment rather than just 2:1 .
[edit]
Oh - I was going to add that because of that extra sheave on the top block, I had to roll my own bullet block pair out of a 224 and a 225, as the 232 doesn't have a becket.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by jonathan162 on Feb 11, 2021 - 12:20 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
