Sheaves + Main sheet

We replaced two sheaves on the block that comes off the traveler, the larger sheave was in good condition.
We counted the sheaves and there nine before the line gets to the winch.
We also replaced the main sheet with 3/8 white yacht Braid from Rigworks. We had them do the eye splice and whipping.

Fiddle block with removed sheaves

We also replaced the washers + nuts

We removed one block and put up a snap shackle block in it’s place so we would have one to take to the chandlery. We will do some pricing before replacing those. We would like to replace as many as we can with ball bearing ones (blocks).
