reasonably priced ratchet blocks
Posted: Wed May 30, 2012 10:39 amI just thought I'd post a heads up in case anyone might be interested.
I just picked up a couple of reasonably priced ratchet blocks that seemed pretty nice. They're $30 on clearance http://www.westcoastsailing.net/default ... block.html . I just ordered another one for my sunfish after seeing the two that I received. They seem to hold similarly to my Harken ratchets which don't hold quite as tight as my Ronstan ratchets. Of course, I have no idea about the durability but they look good.
The blocks are Allen which is the manufacturing side of the long-standing partnership of Holt and Allen. The two split in 2008.
