Agree with Brad regarding blocks. On my 500, the genoa block is on the toerail just aft of the end of the cabin (just behind the stanchion). The block is attached to the toe rail with a nylon strop (just tubular webbing tied in a loop with a tape knot) - it might be possible to attach some snatch blocks direct to the toe rail, but there should be some articulation allowed for, and if you let the block rise too much you are guaranteed riding turns on the sheet winch.

Anyway, glad to see another Irish T500 - we have Soubrette (473) in Bray, where there is also a T501 Nima - both bilge keelers. Saw a couple more on this year's cruise around Ireland - saw one or two in Schull, another in Downings in Donegal and another in Howth. Have previously seen one on the Foyle, and there was one more in Dun Laoghaire that was for sale - is that yours now?

Good sailing,
Ronan
