In the interest of running all control lines to the cockpit, I need to install turning blocks on or near the bottom of my mast. There are three lines: jiffy reefing, topping lift, and backhaul. On the starboard side, there are two single blocks attached to the mast, one each for the main and jib halyards, attached to the mast with four screws. I have two questions...
Should I drill and thread the mast (it's an O'day 272LE, 1987 vintage) and attach a pad eye there? If not, where and how?
Should I use a triple block or three single blocks?
Thanks!
