dinghy lift

Hi all I want to share an update regarding my dingy lift improvement. I contracted a local sailboat rigging company to improve the original 1-1 lifting set up. The rigger installed 4 additional blocks creating a 3-1 lifting ratio. He also increased the line diameter on the boom lift to 3/8.The new set up is smooth and reduces the lifting load from 1-1 to 3-1 thus reducing the load to a third of what it was originally.Please see attached photos.Thanks to all who responded with suggestions on this issue
