Remember that the board is around 50 kilos, give or take 5 kilos depending on its thickness and type of steel (mild or stainless)
The person lifting the board should remember to bend their knees & use their legs to make the lift, keeping the back straight.
Method A
This is the one shown in the Rigging Guide.
- Stainless wire, 3.2mm (1/8”), 7 x 19. This will need two thimbles & two swages.
- Bronze sheave block (RF 103, 45mm sheave)
- Strip hanger, (like RF180 or RF1045 boom hanger) fitted as low as possible on the compression post.
- Double block with becket, (like RF83)
- 8 mm rope (I use 6mm) – soft as you can get, some are very ‘hard” and don’t go through the blocks easily. You will need around 5 metres, but measure it first. Be sure gloves are worn.
- Double block fixed to centre case, (like RF81)
- Turning block, (an RF185 would do)
- L/s cleat with fairlead, (RF 5020, with RF 5015 fairlead)
