I am installing foot blocks on my Zephyr because of the upward strain created by the main winch on my geonoa track when
my boat is close hauled. (Foot block is a new term for me, It's the block aft of the winch thru which the sheet runs to reduce the angle of force on the track and line up the sheet to feed to the bottom of the winch drum. Maybe everyone knows this but me. ) I'm in the market for some foot blocks. and happy to pay top dollar. Foot blocks were standard on the design for the Challenger, altho builders may not have followed the directions.
Also if anyone has surplus Southern Coast blocks , these could be used as foot blocks if shackled to padeyes.
while I'm at it I have the original winches for the main and jib Halyards. If anyone would like to sell spare South Coast winch handles, I'm happy to pay top dollar also.
This gear is all circa 1961. Offers are welcome . David Thnks for help with password.
