[C320-list] Genoa Foot Blocks

[DennyBrowne@Verizon.net]

Thanks, Bruce. I'm tempted to do just that. Do they look like this?

Catalina Direct says they're made by Garhauer, and I've asked Garhauer to
confirm. They look considerably stronger than the originals, which turned on
pins, not bearings. Seems kinda silly to have them shipped from Upland to
Sacramento, then to Torrance.

I didn't realize you were in San Pedro. We'll be down there for the King
Harbor to Cabrillo and Queen Mary Races this year. Would love to meet if
you're around.

Hi Denny,
Last year I drove up to Garhaur and bought a new pair of double roller
bearing sheaves.  I'm afraid I don't remember any model number. The only
thing written on them with a sharpie was 100 which is what I paid for them.
The mounting holes lined up perfectly.
Was a nice upgrade and I always enjoy looking at all the cool blocks they
have.
