I installed a pair of Garhauer adjustable jibsheet leads for my #3 on my 38 footer. They seem to work fine and appear to be nicely engineered. The only issues are that the turning blocks are taller, and the car and adjuster blocks are physically larger than the Harkens I have for my #1 and #2 and the Merrimans they replace. (can you say stubbed toes?) The other issue is that their SS seems to show rust faster than some others. But that said, I like Garhauer's stuff and have been slowly updating with their blocks.
