If it is you should be using blocks. I can't wrap my head around aluminum as a rigging material, stress cracks are real.

Even unpainted steel would last for years and years. I'll see what i got sitting around come spring when it all melts :lol: If i ever get around to it I'll send you some, the least i could do for the bosuns seat you sent!!!

I've been thinking of making some out of pipe, just a quick forging job would be easy enough i think.

I didn't think they were all that abrasion resistant; and I've seen pics of them cracking. I dunno, natural crotch and then blocks for larger stuff works well enough for me

Agreed, they are nothing new. I'm not sure why they are choosing al other than for weight. Steel or better yet stainless would be ideal i would think.
