Westerly bits

[Gwylan]

Have Westerly Seahawk, with in mast reefing.

The outhaul car - traveller is past its best. Thought it was an IYE and ordered the equivalent - it won't fit.
Proboat are being very decent and will take it back and credit.

Now I need to know who might be the manufacturer of the track and car so that I can find a spare.

Or can anyone suggest how I can replace the wheels on the car so that the performance is improved?

How on earth do I attach pictures?

What make is the in-mast gear? Is it original or add-on?

 

[Gwylan]

Original, Kemp and ? profurl or similar.

If it's Kemp, ask a Selden dealer about it - dealer details on Selden's website.

I can't imagine that its original. I don't think they made boats with in mast reefing as an option when the Seahawk was being laid up. My memory could have utterly failed me of course!

Thanks for that suggestion, but does not seem to be in the Selden catalogue.

But it does look like a bit from the Pfeiffer catalogue. All those years learning and speaking German may actually have a pay off.

Hey ho

Are the wheels the plastic type material ? If so Trafalgar do some of the wheels, or go along to a local machine shop who would make them at a reasonable cost
