Hi Neil,
It is measured between the nearest points of the two blocks.
'Block' means the whole of the block.
You can make that distance about 30-50mm which provides plenty of space to tie a knot in the attachment without pushing the 60mm limit.

The rule for adding a block for the vang below the gooseneck block is:
It is permitted to attach to the gooseneck a block of no more than
20mm diameter using rope tied around the vang gooseneck block
(the attached block being no more 60mm from the gooseneck block)
and to lead the vang rope through that attached block rather than
the gooseneck block.
Where are the end points of this 60mm?
Is it distance between pully centers?
or
could it be from bottom of gooseneck block to the becket on the attached block ?
Which would be over 30mm longer so a big percentage difference
Thanks
Neil
