My Harken furler sections were damaged when I lost my forestay and mast.
Harken no longer sells repair parts for the old furler. (Oval section extrusions with twin tracks.)
The drum and top assembly are fine but several intermediate lengths are damaged as are the joints between sections.
Has anyone ever modified an old furler drum and top bearing to work with new round cross-section extrusions? Does it make any sense to do so? It seems it should be fairly straightforward to fabricate transition pieces to couple the drum and top bearing to new extrusions.
If anyone has spare parts for an old Harken furler or a complete furler assembly they want to sell please contact me.
