Don't waste money Robi ! Just grap or buy a small (series 30 I think) block, release one bolt that goes through the eyestrap (and cleat) from the becket. twist the eyestrap away a little, run the little block over the eyestrap and fix the bolt again. Now you can run the sheet through this small block and tie it off to the becket on the upper block. Presto ! A 7:1 system for the expense of no more than one small single block.
I plan on doing this, but I will keep my eyes pealed, specialy on E-Bay for the harken block. They are hard to find unless new. Harken is a lot lighter than ronstan, so eventually my entire hardware suite will get changed to harken.
