Hi Ron, my 81 C27 has the blocks that swivel and have the spring, I think they work great. I have had other boats that did not have the spring and the blocks tended to clank around on the deck when they did not have a load on them so the springs hold the blocks upright. >>> Ron Ginter <[email protected]> 7/7/2010 6:13 AM >>> Thanks Andy, I think I will give your solution a try. I can't imagine why Catalina would have used the ones they did. Blocks need to swivel! It looks like I'll need to buy the cars, then just add a block to them. Are the springs necessary or helpful?

P.S. After 40 years of motorcycling I have realized that whenever I got a new bike, I would spend the next 2 or 3 years personalizing it with components that I felt either added to the bike's abilities, or improved on the original equipment. It would appear that the same phenomenon exists in the sailing world.
