Here is that photo:



And the angle to the winch:



Nice low angle, no overwrap.

Hard to see in the photo, but is the sheet between the lead block and the headsail led on the inside or outside of the lifelines? What size is your headsail?

Also many more stanchion mounted hardware: http://www.hallspars.com/Categories5.aspx?Category=95137972-aebf-4561-abb4-d0a34d5e3802

What do you think?

Do I really need blocks or will only going with Bullseyes work?

Steve,
I believe they are Lewmar. But, I really like the way Randy has his set up. If I did it again, I would lean towards his routing. It is very clean.

Don,
With a 135% on a C250 you have to route jib sheet on outside of standing rigging.

When I am reefed down, I reroute sheets to inside of rigging for a better sheet angle.

Steve, I like the spring-based blocks because they adjust very well to the angles involved. Also, note that the stanchion-based bullseye is swiveled, not fixed. You want maximum adjustment flexibility to reduce friction while achieving a proper lead angle.

Other hardware may work too, I just know that this setup does work.

Another simple setup that works.

I made the pair of rubbing rails by halving a piece of round nylon. SS rails are available.

A by product of the rub rails is they provide a slip stopper when coming off the coach roof.

In the pic, the swivel cam cleats are used to handle twings. Twings are jib sheet blocks on the end of a line fed through the jib sheet car. The car is parked and left in the most forward position, which then allows adjusting the height of the twing to simulate moving a jib sheet car. This makes for very easy adjusting of the jib sheet angle.

Note: They can only work if using coaming winches and surprisingly they don't foul.

Is a 7c winch able to handle the main halyard? I'd like to move my cabin top winches back to the coaming.
