2008-04-03 | Richard Robbins | This was discussed by the Technical Committee (3/12/2008) and agreed that best fitting is the current design from Cape Cod Shipbuilding but other designs have been implemented and other designs should be allowed. The following is the proposed interpretation: The preferred and recommended fitting for the backstay turning block is the part manufactured by Cape Cod Shipbuilding called 'Backstay Deck Casting chrome plated bronze w/ sheave (B23)'. This current design includes 4 mounting holes, a turning sheave, keeper pin and a gasket nut. Other combinations of parts may be used as long as they are of equivalent strength and are gasketed to be as watertight as practical. |
