I would like to see either close up pics or a close up video of the pieces and parts for the roller furling setup. That is where I am at on my trimaran build. I am trying to have the 24 ft 3 inch aluminum mast rotate like a hobie AI mast, so that the sail furls like this around the mast. We are certainly using UHMW plastic below the mast as part of the step, but would like to make rotating it easier, like delron tubing for bearings, or something like that. Any ideas?
I like that.

ReplyDeleteI've added a close up view of the furling mechanism.
ReplyDeleteNice system Garry, how well does it work without the snake?
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot for a tacking canoe, nice.
