Mounting Cheek Blocks on the Mast


Mike Lehman explains:
I wanted my turning blocks mounted to the mast instead of mounted on the deck. I did that using standard cheek blocks and making teak mounting blocks. The teak blocks are a little tricky to cut so, I've included a sketch that hopefully will show you the "trick" on cutting the blocks, if you choose to mount your blocks this way.

Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide cover Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide 4th Edition

My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas, it concentrates on anchorages—the kind of places I prefer to spend my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay—a smorgasbord of small creeks and coves.
