Hi, new to here, and the sport.

I have a Trac 16 cat, just purchased it to find out it is missing all of its blocks; a 3 block, a 3 block w/ ratchet, 2 jib ratchet blocks, and 2 jib bridle blocks.
Does anyone know where I can get these w/o spending $200+... The only 3 block w/ ratchet I could find was $190

Thanks!

Try nautos, we have been hearing good things about them for the price. They are still going to cost you over $200 hundred though. Even used you are going spend well over $200 for what you are looking for. If you go for new harken blocks it would likely run over$500.

There's some guy in Texas who sells cat parts used on Ebay. I picked up a 7:1 mainsheet system from him for something like $120. It was in really good shape. Not sure what it would cost to get what you're looking for used, but it would certainly be cheaper than new.
