Comments on: Tripple-block – will it fit? http://www.sylinnea.com/2007/07/tripple-block-will-it-fit/ A blog about sailing a 36 ft sailing boat with junk rig Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:16:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: matti http://www.sylinnea.com/2007/07/tripple-block-will-it-fit/comment-page-1/#comment-343 matti Tue, 10 Jul 2007 11:45:38 +0000 http://www.sylinnea.com/2007/07/05/tripple-block-will-it-fit/#comment-343 No. The bronze roller bearings are quite good and serviceable. But they are no better or worse or more or less expensive than ordinary ball bearing plastic things. They are heavier and look better, though. One bad and one good point. But I would be silly talking about practical things when talking about sailing. (Like you did.) It is all about something else. Flying or going by car is much less expensive, faster and comfortable. Those kinds of transportation tend to be a bit smelly, ugly and less romantic, though. /m No. The bronze roller bearings are quite good and serviceable.

Thanks. Today I might get my hands on an ST winch for the main halyard. And maybe some second hand blocks too. /m Ok! Thanks. Today I might get my hands on an ST winch for the main halyard.
