The reason that I don’t think it is a defective block/cleat is that it happened with two different Garhauer triple blocks, one with the cam upright and one with the cam upside down. It has only happened once so far with the new one, but I don’t really want to have to worry about it happening again. From what I have been reading from the list and elsewhere, my boom was probably farther off center than optimal for a heavy weather jibe on the most recent event, so I intend to be more careful in the future about how far I sheet it in prior to the turn. Dave PS- I will be selling one of the Garhauer’s (triple with becket and cam) once I sort this out if anyone is interested. I would offer it to the list first.
