I'm finishing up the rigging design beach cat. I need some help on choosing blocks and a rigging set up. Mainsail area 59.5 ft^2 I was going to use a 4:1 main sheet without a traveler, a 3:1 main outhaul and a 4:1 boom vang. My question is, does this set up sound about right? Also, which of these blocks would be the best buy, or should I consider another.
Lewmar 30mm Synchro blocks
Harken Bullet Blocks
lastly these handle a max of 5/16" line, I was wondering if this large enough, especially on the main sheet.
Thanks for all your help,
Jordan
Not much sail area. Don't need a vang but do need downhaul.
Ronstan is another manufacturer to look at, ask the supplier for their recommendations for the whole boat.
No traveler??? why not? seems like an essential part of sailing to me... or do you plan to only sail upwind? (joke)
