I'm sat here (hundreds of) miles away from a chandlery and a (few miles away from my) tape measure, struggling to work out what double block would be suitable for my yet-to-be-made davitts. The davitts are specifically for hoisting the dinghy, nothing more, and I'm after small, inexpensive double blocks. I'm guessing I should be looking for blocks no larger than for an 8mm rope. I've no idea what size these are in the picture, but they're exactly what I'm after since our davitts are based on the same design:
The dinghy is 28kg and although I don't imagine hoisting with the engine attached, I guess I should factor that in. We have a 3hp 2 stroke Malta, so total weight not much more 40kg.
Can anyone help identify which model/size I should be researching? A lot of the online chandleries don't give overall measurements so a specific model number or a link to something like the above would be really helpful.
