I went from 4:1 to 6:1 with a camcleat on my 35/3. Used Garhauer blocks. Made a huge difference. No longer need to use a winch in a breeze. Traveler is original.

Think I still have original equipment and is in the cockpit. Can others provide me with types of blocks they use or recommendations? I viewed the Harken site, with recommendation a 6:1 triple block system (hexratchet at the base). A local sailmaker stated these fail quite often and have a lot of friction due to the twist. He recommended a 5:1 system. Can others provide suggested setups? Look forward to guidance.
