[Rhodes22-list] GB Furler Picturers and Parts

[Alexis Seigneurin]

Hi Ken,

I don’t know what brand mine is. I believe this is what General Boats has been using at least in the past 10-15 years (my boat was refurbished in 2007).

The black block is what attaches to the cabin top to allow it to be raised.

Peter has a video about replacing the furling line, and it gives a good view over the furling system: https://youtu.be/MH7hYJnoNpM

The furler from your picture really keeps me curious. It looks much bigger than what would fit inside the mast, but it might just be an optical illusion!

Alexis

Hi Alexis,

The second picture is just the top of the pole that is in the first picture.
Your pole looks the same as mine. Pretty simple how the top of your sail is
attached. The bottom looks different - does that block portion remain
stationary while the rest spins? What brand is yours?

Thanks,

Ken
