Big Block on my Swan 38 deck
Do someone knows how can I open one of the 2 big double block on deck, side of cockpit of my Swan 38? Because one is blocked.
Thanks.

Take out the center pin on the upper side to release the sheaves. Probably you have to force the sheaves out if jammed. Try CRC or similar.

On SB side it might be possible to lead the sheet directly to the winch without going through the footblock, this will reduce friction a lot.

Kind regards

Thanks Professor, but what is the right way to move the center pin? There is a special movement? Have I to un screw in a special way? I don't want to brake something. Thanks.
