Joe, First, I have a Harken carbo ratchet block and like it. It's probably a HAR 2135. I find it most useful when unfurling the headsail. I use it primarily to keep tension on the furling line so it coils tightly on the drum. Second, ratchet blocks work best when the turning angle is about 90

My boat came with a ratchet block. One time I didn't have the ratchet on, and I let the sail unfurl too quickly. The furling line wrapped around the reel very loosely, and when I tried to furl at the end of the day, the furling line (1/4") jammed in the reel. It's something you don't want to do.
