I have an old wooden sailing boat,34 feet LOA and about 5.5 tons. We are changing to a loose footed main for the first time. The Bermudan sail has about 400sq feet area and is comparatively low aspect. The outhaul system will be a 6 part purchase.
What size blocks should I use? I’ll use spectra line I think. I don’t want to oversize the blocks as I have a nice shiny varnished boom which I’d prefer not to get battered by too heavy hardware. Any recommendations?
Thank you
