First, as a new user here I would like to say hello and thanks for having me.
I bought a Hunter 23.5 about 3 years ago. Family issues kept me from using it until this summer. I've only been out twice (both times with very experienced sailors). I seem to be missing the main sheet - the sheet (rope) and the hardware (pulleys) that attach to the lower side of the boom and to the floor of the cockpit. It controls the main sail. I assume the whole deal is the main sheet but I don't know the name of the hardware. I was able to borrow one but need to get one of my own.
I've found them new at 2 different places but the pricing seems outrageous - $600 and up. Anyone have one they are willing to sell or can someone point me in the right direction to find one?
As for the boat - It's in very good shape but missing the aft berth cushions and the main sheet. I paid about 30% of it's market value, hard to pass it up at that price. I had to buy a battery and I need bow light. Also had to pretty much rebuild the trailer. Motor runs good but smokes a little, hopefully just a carb adjustment.
Thanks for any help!
