Davits - 6.1 Harken blocks and New England Ropes Dacron - 2011

2011 - At Marina Cortez, San Diego, CA
Rigworks with my Jeep Wrangler out front in San Diego.
The line for the 6.1 Harken blocks we want will be all white. So a little more money for the New England Ropes Dacron all white line.
55' of 3/8 line for each Kato Marine Island Davits with becket splice foe each davit block.
619.223.3788
Went by Rigworks and picked up the line.
We need 55’ of line for the blocks to hoist the dingy.
Add 2’ for each splice (4) so add 8’.
So we need 63’ of New England Ropes Dacron all white line, braided core.
The splices are less at Sailing Supply. At Sailing Supply there are $13.00 per splice.
At Rigworks  they are $20.00 a splice.
So Debbie ordered the line from Logan at Rigworks and I will pick it up and drop it off at Sailing Supply and buy 2 pelican hooks .

 The blocks we got are four - three sheave 57 mm Harkin Carbo blocks from Sailing Supply. The hooks attach right to the blocks. The 3/8 line will be spliced to the two becots.


One of our new blocks.
The hooks.
 Dropped off the line at Sailing Supply for splicing and Dave helped me pick out the hooks. He is really good at helping with the blocks and other rigging needs.
