I've only ever used the Harken blocks that came with the boat. When I bought the boat it was missing a couple block so I replaced the missing ones with Harken again. I figured after 30 year the originals were in great shape. Figured I could not go wrong getting more of them.

I'm starting to realize I am way brand loyal. Spintech could be even better, I don't know.

Thanks

Harken is the way to go.

I checked and rope size is 3mm to 8mm so that is 1/4 to 5/16 which would be small for our boats. my main sheet is 7/16 on the C-26. I also agree on Harken.
