Harken® Fly blocks are designed to provide strength beyond mass, offering big holding power in a low-aero package. Designed specifically for use with very small-diameter line, these friction-fighting blocks have an incredible working load for their small size. Fly blocks are in their element rigged in cascade systems aboard foiling dinghies, catamarans, sportboats - even in multi-part control-line purchases aboard TP52s. Fly blocks are available in 18, 29, and 40 mm sizes. The 18 mm blocks feature an integrated stainless steel inner race and rivet, stainless steel ball bearings and composite fiber-reinforced sideplates, and are available in single, double, and before long, triple sheave models. The 29 and 40 mm blocks feature a one-piece titanium sheave that doubles as the outer bearing race for their stainless steel ball bearings.

The sail from George Town to Black Point was awesome. The last hour, a squall came through shifting the wind around to the nose. We had purposely gone this far, missing Staniel Cay, so that we'd hit cut on a flood and not have to burn a bunch of fuel with an ebb tide. I would suspect this cut would be pretty challenging hitting it on an ebb with opposing wind. It was pretty calm outside the cut, but the waves really turned up inside the cut (on the Bahamas Bank Side)
