Warren, the trapeze line cheek blocks just redirect the lines across the stern 
of the boat. I connected mine to the transom bar, but if I did it again, I 
would screw them straight into the deck. Just place them in a position where 
the shock cord feeds directly out of one toe rail channel, to the block and 
across to the block on the other side and into the other toe rail channel. You 
will need two blocks stacked on top of each other to do this. You can just use 
something like the RF20151's. There is not a whole lot of load on them, as 
they are just used to retract the trapeze wires back to a vertical position, 
and pull the righting lines cack into the boat. The righting lines pass 
through the boat and are tied with parrell beads (the red plastic balls) on 
the other side, so you pull against them, not the trapeze blocks.

Roger.
