Can anyone Identify These Genoa Cars

[savageseadog]

Looking for some help identifying these please. They are described as 66001, Chariot de genois (not necessarily French Manufacture) 100mm rolling 2-961222. The track size is 25mm so what track would that be as well. They are ball bearing type.

A quick google suggests (and close inspection of the photo agrees) that these are Lewmar items. Try googling 66001 genoa'.

No, all you found with the Google is the cars which I bought on ebay which probably aren't Lewmar.

Various manufactures do 25 mm track BARTON and HARKEN being two of them

OK, well the style is certainly Lewmar ( or 'after Lewmar').

Having seen how bits of rigging fail, I wouldn't want anything from ebay on my boat, but I wish you luck finding out what you've bought.

Def not Lewmar, can post older and newer Lewmar style photos as we've had both types and they are nothing like these

They look very similar to Goiot genoa cars part number 93421 but are not quite identical.

Could be. It's a brand I've never heard of before.

I\'d go for Goiot...

...as fitted by Beneteau in the 70s & 80s. "Goiot" needs a umlaut over the "i".

My neighbour had the devil's job getting a replacement car for his Evasion 34. The nearest place I have seen them on sale is the Co-operative Maritime at Lezardrieux.

Any good? They seemed cheap (on ebay) for what they do.

I have them on my Gib'sea and they seem to work well - As they're now getting on for 10 years old I guess they're pretty hard wearing too.
