What is truly interesting is the fact that the tigers are placing there spi blocks on the inside of the hulls right now.

Columbia South Carolina, USA | They are also using a 3 block system instead of 4. One block mounted directly underneath the mast base, no holding power, then out to ratchets/carboratchamatics. My crew has enough trouble with 4 ratchets, but they are weaklings(hope they arent watching!) david www.teamseacats.com

Looking for a Job, I got credi... | One block under the base of the mast instead of one each side. So when you gybe you just grab the rope from the other side of the block under the mast. Assumes you are only running ratchets on the outboard blocks.

Lake Murray, SC,USA | The center turning block is a different beast. I upsized my side CarboRatchamatics on my new Tiger to 74mm for the additional holding power. It weighs more but it eliminates a block so I'm = or better on weight. I had it out in 15+ Saturday had no sweat holding the kite with one hand, Maybe my Nacra F-18 Captain can learn from the Grasshopper after we sail it Sunday. I'm sure Miss Kitka can be retrofitted.
In fact I rerouted all the lines for crew friendliness, hard lessons learned in the Spaghetti dance.
