Any suggestions on which block I might consider for my CP23 '84?
I'm dissatisfied with my current block with the low angle to release the sheet in a high wind emergency. I can't adjust the cam angle.
I'm dreaming of new equipment. I'm on a roll,

Don't like the block/jam's angle of the dangle on the stern's combing of a CP-23?
I bent mine on my CP-19 till I liked it.
Then instead of a side by side 4 purchase on the end of the boom,
I went to an inline 4 purchase block.
Also added a boom vang.
A wood screw can also be placed under the tiller where it sits on the rudder's cast head.
Pulling the screw out, raises the tiller.
skip.

I have this one. There are times that I feel the lead angle on the cleat is a little shallow and it is difficult to release. However, thanks for posting this, I went back the Ronstan site and found out the lead angle is adjustable. Hopefully I can get a little more angle on it. I think I would prefer just changing the whole sheet system to mid boom 6:1 with a bridge deck traveler, but haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet. :-\
