Need help replacing the blocks used on a hunter 35.5 legend, y understanding is to use Schaefer 5 block? Could anyone provide a walk through on how to do so?
Replacoing blocks for reefing on a hunter legend
- Thread starter drkmcdaniel

The Reefing system I have now uses Blocks at the base and I believe at the rear of the boom, It creates opposing points and makes the mast very difficult to raise.
There is an opposing block inside the boom with a quality unit that you can replace when you remove the end of the boom. The blocks at the bottom of the mast can be replaced, they have a nut underneath you have to jam to turn the unit. You can also use a better grade of cordage for the reef lines.
The only other advice is install a new halyard, lube the mast track again and lift the boom before hauling the last of the sail up. You can also add a sail track, owners always give thumbs up to that.

Thank you so very much, I read were I should replace existing blocks with Schaefer 5 blocks. Not sure I mentioned this, but I removed the line from the reefer eyelets in the Main and it went up effortlessly!!
