Reply to: Nacra 5.2 Restoral - Downhauls

Message body

[quote=texastuma][quote=revintage][quote]But I like your idea of just using the other cam cleat for the main downhaul giving me a 6:1[/quote]

Will cost nothing more then a few pop rivets as a Bullet cheek block is probably in your parts bin. Instead of a triple block there are surely three single blocks there too.

Actually a 8:1 with a third Bullet cheek block centered on the luff groove and two double blocks(one on each side of the tack) would be even better, as it is easily modified to 16:1 like on most F18s.

True, only is the one pulling the strings knows how to use it. Otherwise, upgrading is a waste of time and money. On my 19, we built a 24:1 and used it as a finetune mainsheet. We took the cleats off and my crew played the downhaul constantly.[/quote]
