Also a big Garhauer fan....I have their blocks on shackles like David, lines led to deck organizers on each side and then back to the cockpit through sheet stoppers before the winches on the cabin roof. Those lines are always under some tension and hold the blocks up nicely.
This set up is a much better racing plan and keeps crew off the deck and foredeck most of the time. 3 jib halyards, 1 main halyard, 1 ASYM tack line (led from the bow), 1 outhaul, and 1 reef line, and 1 Garhauer Rigid vang line. All lines run into the cabin through two flush Lewmar opening ports on the bulkhead. Replaced the instruments with the ports and it keeps the lines out of the cockpit nicely as well. All of the original winches have been removed and deck faired smooth. Hard to beat Garhauer for quality and price. Ron C.

I currently have 3 for halyards, 1 for mainsheet, 1 for boom furling line and 1 for center board. I'm was considering Schafer stainless because they look great but, I'm now thinking, some kind of plastics would be better for when they fall against the new paint. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations about brands, quality vs cost, etc...
