homemade grcs

[Jamin_Mayer]

If I were to make a GRCS, or should I say a "JRCS"? I think I'm going to add some bling to mine.

Don't forget to add your logo.

how much money did you save not factoring in your time to make it. I guessing the most expensive part was obviously the harken. I tried welding once, it ended up looking like "art"

how much did it cost to make counting the cranking thing?

Chopper,

That's a snazzy idea, the pigtail on the original grcs seems week. IIRC, someones groundie tried to take up slack pulling aggainst the side of the pigtail and it ripped off. I might rip ya off, and adapt that to mine.

That's excellent chopper, well designed, looks more compact that the grcs or hobbs, does the rope run/slide on the Harken ok? Like the way the metal guide prongs are sitting close to the Harken, means ;ess leverage/stress on them when rigging. How about a video please?

What about the anchor strap, its sitting very low? is it working out ok. I take it the top bit has a slide in bit at the back for support, you know cutting a kerf then the bit fits in?
