Minor note: love the G cars and blocks. Though last Friday while approaching Orient Point LH in following sea and 20+ kt gusts I heard a bang. That metal on metal sound you don't want to hear on a boat. The 60-13UB block blew out. Body is there but sheave and all associated bearings and what not gone. Gunna buy a new one. J Hideaway
