The furling drum and bearing case is back on the boat (DF SW800 No. 163 - 1990). I bought the parts (same as described above) and made the exchange. You only change the bearings, two solid rings are reused at the same place and position. Great improvement, might need now to do the same on the top be...

I have just opened the bottom bearing case of the furler (original part is the Isofurl from Isomat). Looks like the one mentionned earlier by a DF1000 owner, same part numbers!
I will try to get the parts and reassamble this week.

The force on the line during folding/unfolding is normal (say one hand on the winch). Now that I have r...

Repair id done, I made a wooden part and epoxied it in place behind the fiberglass wall, in fact just to support the reconstruction of the fiberglass that was teared off. After completing the fiberglass work and not so sure about how it would hold, I did put an aluminum covering and secured the pull...

There is so much pull on the ends of the swing-wing line that I had to reset the end loop on the ama, but now I had the other end and the pully broken off the inside part of the ama close to the hull, I have pictures (will try to load them?). my question is: should I make a metal plate to reinforce ...
