VINTAGE MERRIMAN SIZE #2 BRONZE FURLING SYSTEM 6 DRUM WithSCHAEFER TOP SWIVEL

  
THIS LISTING IS FOR A VINTAGE RARE MERRIMAN BRONZE SAILBOAT FURLING SYSTEM, COMES COMPLETE WITH 6 DIAMETER BRONZE DRUM AND A LIGHTLY USED SCHAEFER MODEL 97-24 UPPER BALL BEARING SWIVEL DESIGNED FOR HEADSAILS UP TO 400 SQ FEET SEE PHOTO SHOWING SWIVEL IN MY 1977 SCHAEFER CATALOG. THE MERRIMAN DRUM MEASURES APROX 6" DIAMETER BY APROX 6" TALL WITH THE UPPER AND LOWER TANGS WHICH HAVE 1/2 CLEVIS PINS.

THE UPPER SCHAEFER SWIVEL MEASURES APROX 4 3/4" LONG BY 3" WIDE AT THE KEEPER ARMS (THAT KEEP IT FROM TWISTING AND TO KEEP IT CLOSER TO THE HEADSTAY). THE LOWER DRUM FURLER CURRENTLY HAS 42' OF 1/8" WIRE THAT LIKELY SHOULD BE REPLACED, IF IT WERE ME I WOULD LIKELY CHANGE IT OUT FOR ROPE, YOU CURRENTLY HAVE LOTS OF CHOICES WITH THE DYNEEMA TYPE LINES, OR I WOULD LIKELY CHANGE IT OUT FOR A LARGER DIAMETER POLYESTER DOUBLE BRAID, EASIER ON THE HANDS THAN 1/8" WIRE OR DYNEEMA. THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM DOES NOT REQUIRE FOILS BUT NEEDS TO BE USED WITH A HEAD SAIL WITH A WIRE LUFF.

IT CAN'T BE PARTIALLY FURLED, YOU HAVE TO OPEN OR CLOSE IT FULLY, LIKE THE OLD SCHAEFER FURLERS. AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING I ALSO HAVE A SMALLER SIZE MERRIMAN WITH A 4 DRUM, (11TH PHOTO SHOWS BOTH UNITS). Add a map to your own listings.
