Plastimo furler spares

[pcatterall]

Managed to break mine this weekend! Please dont say " plastimo what do you expect" it was jamed and I tried brute force ( a winch!!) to free it ( stupid boy... I know) Its the whole plastic drum bit that I need. All the chandlers sell the kit but none seem to do spares.
Any advice?

At some stage I'm going to have to replace mine. At the boatshow last September Seateach said they could do it.
If you do get one, let me know how much it cost.

Parts lists etc are in the manuals on Plastimo's website

Seateach usually come up trumps.

Ring them but if you get through to someone unhelpful. Try again another time. Don't grumble and ask to speak to the boss. He is the boss from what I can make out!

I realise it is too late now & you have learned the lesson, but for the benefit of others; I was once told by a wise old sailor "Never pull a rope without checking what is happening at the other end"

It has stood me in good stead for many years. If it should move & isn't, something must be stopping it. Find & remove that something. Too often we assume it is corrosion or similar & just pull or twist harder.

Good luck with sorting the replacement.

Which Plastimo system do you have?. I have a complete new drum assembly here. A friend has asked me to sell it for him. He has now sold his yacht. I think it is for 680S (can easily confirm tomorrow). It would be about 60% of the new price.
Is that what you want?
Cheers

Thanks guys I will try seateach. Thanks searush trouble is I KNOW not to do these stupid things but still do them. The furler is the 460 series which I think has a different furling unit than the '6' series but thanks anyway.

You are not alone. We have all been there & done that. But it's a good mantra & bears repeating.

I am looking for two scrap additional lengths of foil, so if you find one i will buy some foils off you.
