Anyone replaced the mainsheet blocks on their C310? After 16 years a few of them are getting a little tired, and I'm too old to fight with them. CD sells a kit for the C36 that looks like it might work. I also could figure out which Garhauer blocks are on there now and order from Garhauer. Or go top end and use Harken!

Garhauer IS top end. A 10 year warranty. Beat that!

If you have Garhauer already, give them a call and they'll work with you.

Call Garhauer direct.... they'll take care of it. Don't go through CatalinaDirect for something like this.

Call Garhauer for sure, but before you do, think if you want to change (improve) anything in your main sheet arrangement (e.g. changing the purchase, running the lines differently). This would be the best time to do it.

Talked to Guido at Garhauer. Got good advice and placed the order. This will be a nice improvement!

Installed them and tested them out this weekend. Much easier to trim the mainsheet. Between those and the Spinlock cleat the main is now quite manageable. :)

Met Guido at the Annapolis boat show and thanked him for building me my traveler mod. He was pretty happy that I was happy.
