[Public-List] Mast Sheave

[elyse.pastor at sympatico.ca]

Hi Ed,

What a coincidence - I am just having a machine shop make me one (besides getting a new tiller attachement and heli-coil fittings for my boom end caps).

I was quoted $115 Canadian (estimated $94 US @1.22 exchange) and should get it within the next 2 weeks. I have ordered it again in phenolic plastic with a 3/8" groove to receive a rope halyard and I believe the centre hole was 0.75". I thought, the old phenolic one lasted 40 years - phenolic should be good enough for the next 40 years. If you want one - let me know so I can ask them to make a second one.

With best regards

PS: Thank you Mike for the advise on glueing the sister alu beam support. I will do as you recommended.

It is approximately 5 inch diameter and 1/2 inch thick. It has not caused the existing wire halyard, which is still in good condition,?to jump the groove. I am wondering, however,?if anyone has one of these sheaves to sell or knows where they can be purchased.
