I have an old plastimo furler. I ruined it last year. There is one for sale, it looks identical but of course it may be a different size.
Does anyone know if plastimo made the old furlers in various but similar sizes.

The seller is not near the item he has to sell and I am not near my boat but would like to know ASAP if they are likely to match. Below is a photo of his, with dimensions from my ruined drum. 75mm in red and 210mm yellow.

I have no way to measure the original foil sections which are the really important parts...

Not seen that model.
Fixing one from the 80's, I found that the foil was an old size and the new top swivel, though it looked similar, would not fit.

Surely, if it comes with enough foils to carry your genoa, the exact dimensions don't matter.

If not, I couldn't see a number for Ireland, but here's the UK one: 0870 751 4666

they matter because the one for sale will be chopped up to transport... They are a pita to take apart. And at the moment neither is really long enough for my boat. Thanks for the Plastimo number...had not thought of them...
