Friction

Hi,  I have a 4 year old H348.  I really like the fact that all the lines are led back to the cockpit, but, of course, the downside is a LOT of friction, which seems to be getting worse.   I particularly notice this when (e.g.) I have set 1st and 2nd reefs and then the wind drops and I want to put the main back up.   The friction of dragging out the reefs is tremendous, and it even seems to come close to stalling my electric winches!   Any ideas for reducing friction in the reefing lines in particular and the running rigging in general?  I don't want to change the rig, I just would like the friction to be back where it was when the boat was new.   I was thinking perhaps of trying to lubricate all the blocks, but what with?  Everything's still pretty much original at the moment, but I'd consider (e.g.) changing the blocks from the standard Seldens if that might improve things..

You can use a product called One Drop to lubricate the blocks. Also make sure the deck organisers sheaths are free. But changing the diameter of the lines will definitely make a difference. 

Hi Wayne, Thanks for that.  I will definitely get some "One Drop"

Thanks again for all the helpful replies.  I got some "One Drop" and applied it everywhere I could - has made a noticeable improvement!   I've also had the reefing lines replaced with 8mm Dyneema.   Haven't had chance to try them yet.
