I recently had a local sail maker at my Catalina 30. One point of interest for me was the Jib Sheet Lead Block location. He confirmed what I had concluded, the neutral position is right behind the stanchion forward of the boarding opening in the safety railing.
His suggestion was to mount a cheek block on an angle block about 2 feet aft of the winch on the deck. I decided to take it up with you, The Catalina 30 Pros.
Can I mount a turning block on the Rail using the items shown?
Is the rail sound enough to handle the load?
How much load should I plan for?
Garhauer doesn't specify the load limit on the Track Car. They offer similar blocks like the one shown with various load limits.
Thanks
Tom
