Hi guys, My roller furling was attached in sections by these white joiners. When I took the sail off, i noticed some were in bad shape, and breaking, so I decided to replace them. The only problem is that I can't find anywhere that sells them. They were plastic joiners, allowing a steel cable to run through them. Does anyone know where i can find something like this, or do I have to go to a sailmaker or the like? Thanks!

James:

I am having trouble understanding your problem.

If you are refering to the furler mechanism, or more specifically the furler extrusion, I think you need only contact the manufacturer.

Otherwise, I think you might be refering to something on the sail which by one manufactuer is called a Kiwi Slide:

Have you tried Hathaway's? But note, I think they close around 12 PM on Saturday.

I live next door to you in Greenwich.
