Re: Sidewinder boom and jib mechanism available - 7 years ago
You can have it for free if you can come get it. I can ship it to you but due to the length, it might be pricy. I'm in Northeast Ohio. Where are you located? I do some traveling by car so our paths might intersect. Jeffby JAB - classifieds

I made the disks on my jib furler by cutting them out of the top of two 5-gallon plastic pails. The thick plastic was easy to cut with a Dremel and they seem durable so far. the person I purchased my sidewinder from had to replace his mast collar. He had it machined so hopefully it will last. The collar must be a problem area with this boat. Jeffby JAB - sailmfg
