Graham , I got rid of the cheek blocks 18 years ago. They didn't serve any useful function. I go directly from the genoa car to either the primary or secondary winches. The lead angles are almost the same, and they're quite good, even with the genoa car full forward for the #3 jib.
Midnight Mistress is still for sale. Asking $35,000. Come make an offer before I turn it over to a broker...

We usually run the jib sheets on the secondaries (aft pair of winches) because on the primaries the winch handle hits the dodger, and if we use the secondaries I (while steering) can also crank the winch. The line comes off the jib track block, back to the cheek block adjacent to the secondary winch, and up at a horrible angle onto the winch. Which leads to more friction than there should be. I'm thinking of just going from the block on the track to the winch. Any better setups? Cutting back the dodger isn't on the table. How do other 35-3 owners do it? regards, -- Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
