Default Profurl P40 Extrusions

Scotty,

Yes, small set screws, but they were jammed tight after 20+ years of
service. To make matters worse the boat is in Nova Scotia and I'm
Philadelphia. The wife says I can have a mistress if I keep her far
away and don't talk about her. So I go up for a month in the summer
and take a trip.

I did not have time to fiddle around with the furling they way I would
have liked to and, in desperation, ended up buying a new Harken
system. Next year I'll make another go at getting the damn thing
apart, if I can't find extrusions.

Of course, now that I have the new Harken, why do I need an old
ProFurl? It just seems wasteful to throw away a good unit.

Isn't there a small screw that locks them together?

Folks,

I have a Profurl P40 with a broken extrusion. Actually

the unit has

been up since the early 80's and I can't seem to get it

apart.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement extrusions?

Or if the

extrusions for other Profurl models will work as a

substitute?

Many thanks,

Howard



Let me guess Howard... you keep your boat in Chester... or Baddeck?
Close?


Naw, I'm a skin-flint - NYC - Northern Yacht Club in North Sydney.

The club burned down and they rebuilt it. Now they are working on the
docks. Got their priorities straight! Great group of guys.
