Stancion mounted furling block

[Caladh]

I am looking to get some of these or similar https://www.sea-sure.co.uk/configproduct/stanchion-mounted-block-used-furling-rope
but all said items from which ever manufacturer I try, appear designed to fit a 1" stanchion. Mine is 1.5" !! Any ideas about a resolution to this please ?

Why not just get a small pulley block and lash it to the stanchion with some small size rope - say 2 or 3mm diameter? Say No1110 from Barton marine which are ball bearing 30mm Diameter. If it's a loose-ish lashing It'll self align.

+1. Soft attached block - we use these, or a size up depending on rope size. Lovely light blocks with dyneema attachment. Think they show options for how to tie for correct alignment

Are these Harken blocks any use?

Just checked google for 1½" stanchion blocks.

Thanks. I quite like the soft attached one.

I got fed up with bashed ankles on my furling line. In the end I attached the low friction thimbles/rings you can now get together with a dyneema loop. You can mount them close to the stanction to give more space on the side decks and they are totally self-aliging.
