It's coming to that time of year when we see a big increase in block/pulley sales as sailors look to tackle those winter jobs ahead of the new sailing season.
Sailing Chandlery mainly focus on Harken products and have plenty of Harken Blocks for Sale.
Starting at around £10 we have Harken blocks from 16mm sheave size through to 75mm sheaves. The pulleys come in a range of variations from single blocks, double blocks, tie on blocks, cheek blocks and plenty more....
We also stock Harken accessories such as springs and U-adapters so have a look at our Harken page for more information.
If you are a dinghy sailor you'll be looking at mostly 16mm, 22mm, 29mm and then 40mm and 57mm for your sheets. If you are sailing something bigger such as a yacht or keelboat then the 40mm, 57mm and 75mm sheave blocks are going to be your main choices.
At Dinghy Rope we find the following blocks are the most popular with our customers across the various sizes:
We also stock other Harken products such as Cleats and Shackles, have a look at our website.

My favourite rope for splicing
Solid folding lock knife, this is my third one (dropped the last and the first I had for over 6 years).
Looks like it will be good at cutting rope, I've only ever used it for cutting cheese...
we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
