Hi Guys,

Does anyone have foot/turning blocks fitted on their Frers 33 or seen them
fitted on similar size sailboats.  I am considering fitting them to help
alleviate the override problem on the main winches.  They will help maintain
constant angle between the block and the winch and alleviate the need for
pads under the winches.

regards

Rod

Equinox.
