My crew has been complaining about the sheet getting wrapped on the
teak block for some time. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to trim
for the first time and can better appreciate the problem. Sitting on
top of the block, the winch is too high and the sheet wants to move
down off the winch. I see no need for the teak block and will
probably remove them to solve the problem. It appears some other
boats have done the same. Does anyone recommend against removing the
teak block? What is the risk?
