hello! Just curious, what do you use to hold the mainsheet ratchet upward? I have been using a spring but I saw some boats with a rubber like support to hold it upward. is it class legal? how does it work? Thanks!!
 
The rule says, "The block may be supported by a spring, ball, plastic tube or tape."

If I were a measurer, I'd consider something like the Ronstan RF2455B a "plastic tube"... although it's made of rubber.
My impression is that these have been approved at events with equipment checks.
