Shrouds and levers

[IanL]

Quick question, relevant ot a bit of winter re-rigging.

A look through the photos suggest that shroud levers have been replaced by a pulley system for adjusting the shrouds. What purchase do folks use here? What breaking strain blocks?

And another - assume the job halyard also adjustable? Same two questions...

Thanks in anticipation.

My shrouds are 16:1.

I don't know what the jib is because it goes under a tunnel ...

16:1 is the norm. We have fine and coarse on ours 16:1 at on end (serving both shrouds) and 8:1 (I think) serving the other ,coarse, end.

Don't recall the breaking strain of the blocks but pretty high!

Cheers

As long as you use something pretty beefy for the first 2:1 (generally above deck) pretty much anything will be ok for the rest - I use Harken 16mm airblocks for pretty much all systems on my boats except the first purchases which need higher strains, but the bigger sheaves will help ruduce friction.
