Jamming Footblocks for Headsail
Thursday - February 2, 2006•Views: 3135••
Mounted Lewmar 90mm Synchro Jamming Footblocks about 18" aft of the primary winches. This gives the jibsheets clearance over the edge of the combing. It can also be used to temporarily free the winch without tacking if it is needed to furl the headsail.
The teak wedge under the block is 3/4" thick on the inside and 1/8" to the outside. This gives the sheet a good angle to the winch and to the genoa car. The piece leftover from cutting the wedge is used below to hold the aluminum backing plate at the proper angle.
