Re: [LagoonOwners] reef point - blocks or low friction rings?
|
Just a personal note.? My 450S came with the rings at the reef points.? The definition of "low friction" is a point of contention for me.? The reef lines bind up frequently.? I am planning on swapping them out for blocks as soon as I get to that point on the to do list.? I'm in San Diego, so big wind is a rarity, or it would be higher up on the list.? But its one of the top annoyance issues.?

hi all,
Just been having a good look at my sails (L380S2) and I noticed that almost all of the blocks that hold the reefing lines in place are cracked to some extent. most of these have cracks in the "wheel" of the block which i only noticed when I took the reefing lines off for replacement.
Rather than replace the blocks directly, i was thinking about replacing them with low friction rings.
Has anyone done this? if so, did you just use the dyneema strop and loop it round the ring on the sail or use another method?
Thank you for sharing your advice and experience.?
