Post subject:  Homegrown Psuedo Aussie 3:1 Jib System
Hello. Being the poor medical student that I am, I am thinking of constructing my own pseudo aussie style 3:1 jib system. How much load will the blocks see? I am thinking of using the following blocks and attaching them to my pigtail and jib respectively.

Harken 127: Breaking strength 2000lbs, SWL 600lbs

Harken 169: Breaking strength 2000lbs, SWL 300lbs

What do you think? Thanks for your help!

I went with Harken 341 & 342 29mm Carbo blocks. Love it.

Do you happen to know of an online store that has sub retail prices on those blocks? Thanks for your help!

http://www.pyacht.net is where I got mine, couldn't find them any cheaper than here. 341 - $15.10, 342 - $23.80

I ended up going with what Harken told me is the stock Hobie 16 setup:

Harken 2655 ($21.00 at marine.com)

and Harken 2637 ($18 also at marine.com)
Image

This should be better than my 1985 stock system. Thanks again for your help.
