Which Mainsheet Block?? Orbit? Carbo?

Dang! Mine failed last night and now is permanently in "manual ratchet mode" all the time.

In reply to sk8ing sailor above; I expect to send the broken one in under warranty and get a replacement, though I'll probably buy a new one in order to have a block while waiting for the replacement.
 
On the rope strop wear issue with the Orbit block you do need to heed the Ronstan instructions about avoiding sharp edges - which is difficult to do with the sheet metal deadeye. To overcome this, PSA issue the attached sheet with every boat supplied with this block. It shows the use of a small bow shackle between the strop and the deadeye.
