Split bow roller 2004 SO 32

[lateron]

Hi..........my bow roller has split. Apart from going through Clarke and Carter for a Jeanneau replacement, anyone know of an alternative and possible cheaper source. I believe it is made from delrin type material and measures 64mm wide.
Help appreciated or shall I just go the Jeanneau spares route.

Hi Ron

You should be able to get most engineers (or better still lathe hobbyists) to turn you one, using the broken one as a pattern

Sailbleu should be able to advise on best type of plastic and you should be able to source in short lengths on ebay

He made a couple of genoa rollers in this article:

which are quite similar in principle

Thanks for that Malcolm, pretty impressive photos from Sailbleu. I know of a local lathe operator so may give it a try and get 2 made so I have a spare.
Cheers ron
