   Hi again.
I have a couple of questions about your spinlock 6 sheave deck organiser
Are the sheaves 25mm or 38mm?
Does the organiser follownthe curve of the deck, or is it flay at that location?

I am looking to copy what you have done, it looks justvperfect.  I want to ensure I order the correct parts. 

Many thanks

	Hi, just a quick note about the 6 sheave organiser moved aft from the original location. The deck there is not solid but balsa cored, so I would suggest drilling oversized holes, filling them with thickened epoxy the drilling smaller holes for the mounting bolts. There is a chance of getting water into the core otherwise and that causes all sorts of other problems. See my other post about repairing my deck where the deck plugs are. Just my 2c worth.

	Hi, apologies I’ve only just seen this post. I don’t know- I will measure them next time I’m at the boat. I think sailingfree’s idea about protecting the core by creating an epoxy ‘sheath’ sounds sensible. We have had no issues with water penetration or anything else since these sheaves were fitted in 2013, but I didn’t fit them so exactly what was done in terms of reinforcement or water tightness of the core I couldn’t say. What is for sure is there is less stress and strain on sheaves in this location than there is on the originals going through a right angle at the mast foot.

	I think I'm okay to drill, fill, a d seal deck fittings I guess my question was more about the otganiser itself. 6 sheaves is quite long. Does the organiser curve wirh the deck at all?

	Sorry to say I don’t know for sure. It’s not mounted on any kind of block though, so if the deck there is curved, I suppose it curves with it. But not sure without looking next time I’m at the boat.
