[Rhodes22-list] GB Furler?

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bob,

I posted earlier on the problem of shipping such a long unsupported tube by any means. I will expand on this as it will make your solution simpler.  It will be a simple matter to ship whatever furler drum available with 12-24" of the related furling tube you choose.  An identical section of your damaged drum/tube can be removed from your furler, and an aluminum tube can be used to splice the shipped tube/drum with your shortened tube top-section.  In order to fix the splice so it cannot twist, therefore damaging the sail and furling function, validate that the OD of both the new section and your top tube section are the same (they should be) and fix the joints with a splicetube with welds or stainless screws.  The splice tube, with an ID closely matching the OD of the tubes to be joined, would be at least 24", with 12" extending above and 12" below the joint of the tubes.

Let me know how this is going, and bueno suerte, amigo!

>I have attached pictures of the type of drum that I have and you can see the problem with my bottom drum - it is broken in three places.  The pieces are still attached and it still works but it does make me uncomfortable that such a crucial piece of equipment is broken.  Do you guys (or anyone else) have just the bottom drum?  If so, I can remove this and replace with a new one.
