Hi,
I've read somewhere that these sliding genoa/jib sliding track blocks need to be fitted so that locking pin is forward of the block rather than aft of it as it might slide backward very heavily and hurt you if you are adjusting them while under strain? I've checked several boats in my marina today and majority are fitted with the locking pin aft and only few forward of the sliding arrangement. What is the right way to fit these sliding track blocks?
regards/Petar
