This is a new offering from BWY. Nice idea.

Only $35. Real nice, and something I miss from larger boats.

I just don't know if the screws will even come out at this point, they've been in there for so long.

I saw that, it looks brilliant and the answer to what I have been looking for to bring the lines back to the cockpit, BWY also do a double halyard block you can attach to the mast.

My boat came with a small block attached to the deck, which I suspect was originally for the main halyard. But it's too small for the halyard that's on there, which in turn is too big (IMO) for such a small main sail. The PO attached a single block to the bail at the bottom of the mast that's used for the vang, and the block scrapes the mast. Kludgey solution at best, but it functions. The base plate would clean that up considerably.

I love it, too bad I can't use it.
