Lazy jack pull-off

[keelsidedown]

I'm looking for appropriately sized blocks that can be mounted on the first set of spreaders to pull the lazy jack lines away from the sail. I purchased a pair of 20mm Ronstan series 20 blocks from defender (item #614295) but these turned out to be too small.

Does anyone have a favored solution for this kind of application?

Thanks in advance...

I don't understand why your blocks aren't working if you are matching the line size. But why do you need blocks at all? The load is very small.

I just use 3mm line running through saddles on the mast and attached to the lazyjacks a few metres up. I let some slack in the lazyjacks and then pull them forwards towards the mast with the 3mm lines. They don't do any lifting.

Ronstan shock blocks is what I am using. And I think 1/8" dyneema line for the lazy jack lines.

Hey Stumble , can you explain your lazy jack set up? Is it a cascade system? Attached under the spreaders or on the mast sides?
