HR Monsun 31

[KAM]

I was wondering if anyone on here would happen to have a picture of the original mast track gate system that was fitted on the Monsun.

No, I'm afraid. I assume that you don't belong to the HROA. If you want, I can ask on their forum.

 

[KAM]

Yes please. It's my daughters boat in Norway. I'm heading over next week to do some repairs for her. I've knocked something up which may do the job but I'd really like to see what the original looked like. It was missing when she got the boat.

 

[johnalison]

OK. I'll do that.

If the boat was built after 1977 or so (silver coloured spars), I think the original might have looked something like this:
Segelintag med Trycklåsning Litet | Benns
The photo below shows the shape of the inlet, with the new type of fixed gate (for FB mainsails) installed.
If the boat is older (gold coloured spars), the gate system might have been different.

Thanks for the info. It's a gold anodised mast it looks as if the feeder insert is a bit wider. Measures about 40mm.

I have put your question on the HR forum and will let you know if there is a reply.

This is what it looks like. Looks as if the original was pop rivetted into the recess. I think the plate on the right and missing one on the left are a modification but look like they have been there a long time.
