Placement of sails on headstay foil


Eric Freedman
 

When Kimberlite was rerigged, I believe that the riggers indexed the headstay foil incorrectly on the genoa furling motor. Does someone have a drawing of the correct placement of the foil in the motor?
I thought I noticed the problem just before I left the Caribbean . I did not have time to investigate it.so I cannot confirm my supposition.

Hi Slavko,

on your picture I can see that that the grey part of your Genua gearbox is damaged.

I have such a part for sale, it is not the original from Amel, it is made by a machineshop in Austria.

Also available is a overhauled turbocharger for a Perkins Prima 80 (Supermaramu 69 from 1992).

If you are interested email me at:

Best regards,

Leopold   (ex-owner SM69 Yin Yang)

Hi Leopold,

it is bad photo I have attached. Sorry for that.  Part needs painting. Other than that it is ok. Thank you for your offer.

I do not need to now how the motor is taken apart. I believe that they put the foil in the furler 180 degrees out of sync with the motor.

I need to know how the foil sits in the furler—in other words where do the grooves go in relationship to the furler.

Eric,

I think it can be aligned 180 degrees different than I show. Call me next week and I'll explain.
