Hey everyone,
Short version: I am trying to find out if the hardware I am choosing is rated for high enough loads for my boat and wind scenarios.
long version:
I have a hunter 23 and am currently planning on running halyards back to the cockpit. This is my planned setup so far:
**may have to swap the deck organizer for a double stacked cheek block from another manufacturer*
This falls under their "small boat" hardware suggestions :
** I'll just be doing 2 halyards.
I am having a hard time learning about how to calculate load forces on each piece of hardware. Harken has a mainsheet load calculator, but not specifically a halyard load calculator. Is that the same measurement?
this is their mainsheet load calc with my specs in 25knots of wind (would definitely reef before this but I like a good buffer)
The mastbase upright double block is the lowest rated piece at 600lbs (I think that would be about 300 per halyard?) I could put two separate blocks instead if that makes more sense. The single versions are rated for 300 each.
Does this sound like a safe setup? Am I missing anything?
I am a visual learner so sorry for the massive pic dump. Hopefully it helps someone else with this same question in the future.
Thank you for any insight!
