Spotted this Sunfish on local CL. It appears the a swivel block was used in place of a bullseye fairlead. Is this a reliable setup?

I've used both.

The best system was on my Porpoise II (one block at the masthead, one at the deck). But, like everything else, a maintenance item. :rolleyes:

One unexpectedly failed, a Wilcox-Crittenden (which I wouldn't have expected :eek: ). 'Fixed with a cable-tie and Leatherman for the long trip back to home-base.

Stored with sunscreen, water bottle, small electric bailer, camera, Smartphone, chewing gum, 2-piece kayak paddle, and sponges through the "Ultimate Inspection Port". (UIP).

Too bad the UIP couldn't be patented and sold. ;)
