DAYDREAMER and BobJ are correct, although a better word might be reducing friction rather than chafe. School is still out on SMART SHOES whether converting to 2 part jib sheets when the breeze is up is a good look: the trade-off for halving the strain on the jib sheet is pulling twice as much line. Time will tell.
The large brass press ring reduces friction as the slippery dyneema core passing through the jib clew enjoys turning a larger diameter. Hanging blocks on the clew would just add more weight and clutter.

Surely someone can tell us what this is being moved down the road at Kaneohe, HI, circa 1982.

[QUOTE=Philpott;32038][QUOTE=sleddog;32035]Surely someone can tell us what this is being moved down the road at Kaneohe, HI, circa 1982.There's a lot of pretty 110's. But IMO Annie Lewis's SILVER SURFER, above, is the most beautiful! And she does all her own maintenance while living/teaching in Fresno. And yes, the upside down hull in Kaneohe is a new 110 back in 1982..being transported to her maiden launching at Kaneohe YC...

There's a 60 foot 110 moored and sailing out of Bainbridge Island, Washington...anyone guess either one of her names?

Does anyone know what happened to the 110 keel that’s we hauled back from KYC to the mainland? We heard a new 110 was going to be built with it, but I haven’t been staying upto speed on it since Mark and I help offload it from Mas! trailer.

Hi Ian. The Kaneohe keel brought back on MAS! trailer was transported to Port Townsend where it has been hung from a new 110 being completed for the PNW Fleet 19 fleet headquartered at Bainbridge Island. Here's the boat and keel in a recent photo: Is it true two people lifted the keel on/off the trailer?
