I think the triple block and ratchet system that I sent you a picture of from my 35 MKII is a bit much for your 29.you could however use a double block and ratchet system in a similar arrangement for a 5:1 purchase.I think that would do fine.the ratchet block with cleat is a nice little feature for easier control. The way mine is setup with a snap shackle to the traveler car as you can see in the photo allows me to easily detach and move the mainsheet assembly to the toe rail when on the hook.

Think I still have original equipment and is in the cockpit. Can others provide me with types of blocks they use or recommendations? I viewed the Harken site, with recommendation a 6:1 triple block system (hexratchet at the base). A local sailmaker stated these fail quite often and have a lot of friction due to the twist. He recommended a 5:1 system. Can others provide suggested setups? Look forward to guidance. Thanks, Tim Welsh Sly Fox Mallets Bay, VT 29' MK1 (1976) _____ No virus found in this message.
