   Here is a picture of the block which turns the pennant up into the
   tube leading to the cockpit on a 1976/1977. This was on the boat I
   took to the dump last month. It was about 3/4" secured to the fear
   wall of the trunk cap with an eyelet.

     Graham,
     I had the system with the blocks on my `81. I replaced the blocks
     from Dwyer once in 33 years for pocket change. My `91 has the
     diamond board without blocks and is too heavy for my wife to raise.
     As I age, I look to more mechanical advantage rather than less.
     My last order for spares from Dwyer
     ([2]https://www.dwyermast.com/families.asp?cat1ID=70&cat1Name=Block
     s)
     in August of this year was as follows:
     DH 441 - Shroud Adjuster 1 Ordered @ $10.10/ea Item Total - $10.10
     DH 855 - Shackle 3 Ordered @ $4.70/ea Item Total - $14.10
     DH 921 - Eye Strap 3 Ordered @ $1.50/ea Item Total - $4.50
     DH 923 - Eye Strap 1 Ordered @ $4.00/ea Item Total - $4.00
     DH 912 - Swivel Block 5 Ordered @ $10.90/ea Item Total - $54.50
     DH 911 - Bullet Block 3 Ordered @ $7.50/ea Item Total - $22.50
     Sub Total: $109.70 Shipping & Handling: $13.88 CT Sales Tax: $0.00
     Order Total: $123.58
     Not really a lot of money to be able to replace chewed up blocks
     and stuff.

     I wonder if anyone has gone without blocks on the older
     centerboard. I like the idea of abandoning the blocks but when I
     "tested" it on my boat by simply trying to raise the board while on
     dry land it seemed to require a lot of effort. Perhaps when in the
     water it would be easier. On my boat I found that the blocks had
     all seized up so going without them might eliminate something that
     can, and will, go wrong.

     Yes we do have the "diamond board" and that may make a difference
     for the angle of the pennant to the attachment points. However, we
     did originally have a block or blocks. I believe (but don`t
     know) that they are similar weights.
