This type clew block is for use with our 'Quick Release' type of outhaul where the sail is released by slipping the large loop off the end of the boom. Clew lines are ropes attached to the clews, and clewgarnets or cluegarnets. The leechlines are clearly visible running inwards and upwards from the edges of the sail.

The main problem in reefing on a bigger boat is that the sail piles up and slops over one side of the boom. I tried a block there, but you could no longer pull the clew down far enough. The clew lines just go through the clew eye, and there is more friction than Id like. A leech line is attached at the head of your sail and runs down to just above the clew. This works great with very little friction.
