Now there is a pic of a boat Ronnie’s that knows how to block a boat

So many times I walk boatyards and see one set of blocks up the bow and one way at the stern usually a yard with a travelall. I don’t care how good the boat is built. It isn’t happy like that. Lots of stress. Thus a boat that size 34. Put a set in the middle.

And the blocks are cribbed. Many places don’t crib. Drives me nuts

My only change. I make blocks from PT 2 x 8’s with a 2 x 6 tee in the middle. Strong and easy to move around. 24” long
