I put this block system onto my Formula 18 catamaran with great results. Never has it been easier to play the mainsail and respond quickly to gusts. The product feels robust and when combined with a Maffioli mainsheet it runs really freely.
Now I’ve asked the Allen team to put together a 14:1 system for the Vampire. It will be great if we can get the same gust response without the big mainsail pulling our arms off.
