@@CrabberLang can you explain why?..they are just as powerful if not more than the setup you have there?so all the boats have this setup in Hecate straits..?
@@jamesp8 Yes every boat run this set up here. We use only single buoy and line we run cant be to long because the currents are strong, and we also get storms that gust over 70 knots. There would be too much tangled rope so we just use enough, which caused alot of tension when pulling buoys. Just the buoy onto the block requires a huge amount of force. You would need to be able to life 50 to 200 pounds to get it over the conventional block. With our hecate straight set up you can use leverage to overcome the tension. I think you can redesign the convention set up where the block can be lowered by 1 foot. That might work
Why not use a normal power block…?where u located ?
The currents in hecate straits are strong so conventional blocks wont work.
