Okay....we own Heart of Gold, a 1990 First 35s5. She has mid boom
sheeting and the block setup is getting tired, squeaky and just old.
I'm looking at Garhauer blocks which have working loads from 1150, 2000

and 3000 lbs each. Obviously the prices rise along with the working
loads. I'll need three singles and a double. Does anyone know what the
suggested working load limits per block might be? The 35s5 is a
fractional rig with a BIG main.

You can see the 4 older blocks he

I would recommend talking with the good folks at Garhauer directly. Very
friendly and helpful folks, in my experience, and I doubt they'll steer you
wrong.

I plan to do that. I was sort of expecting them to suggest the top-end
blocks, so I was curious if anyone thought the lower load ones would be
fine.
