Re: reef point - blocks or low friction rings?

The better solution, considering all the bends that reef lines need to negotiate (each adding friction) before leading back to the helm (single line reefing) is to replace your cracked blocks with new blocks. ?Friction rings are fine but there is significant less friction and line wear using low-friction blocks. ?We replaced all our friction rings with Harken 75 blocks. On a 450, the reef lines go thru up to 7 angles before they get back to the helm (single line reefing).?
