outhaul

The sail on my 331 is very difficult to pull out of the mast. I’m pretty sure it is the Outhaul car that is the problem because I can manually pull the sail out at the mast by hand but very difficulty using the control line. so I cleaned the ball bearings in the car and it got a lot better but...

I would like to add a simple reefing system on my Newport 28. The sail looks to be set up for 2 reef points with cringles. However, I'm unsure how the reefing may have been done in the past. I'm trying to wrap my head around the current hardware installed on the boom and how the outhaul is...

Hello everyone - this is my first post, but I've spent hours consuming a lot of helpful info on these forums. About two months ago I moved up from a 1986 Catalina 25 to a 1996 Hunter 280 and I've been working through a long to-do list while trying to sail her as much as time will allow. My C25...

Greetings - new to this group. Just purchased my boat and a couple ?s on the RF main. I need to replace the outhaul and cannot find any resources about the size and length of line to purchase for the outhaul. Help on this point? Also, there is a bit of bend in the mast and I have heard that is...

I own a 1991 Hunter 42 Passage and need help. Any ideas how to find a lost outhaul line inside the boom? I wasn't paying attention when pulling the sail off for the season and not sure why I didn't have the line knotted but I lost it inside boom. Has anyone else had to fish this line out or do I...

Hi all, I have 1997 hunter 40.5 and have what I think is an oversized outhaul on my z-spar furling rig. The size is 7/8 or so. I think it's too heavy and has too much friction over the boom sheaves. It's also worn out badly so I need to replace. I contacted US spars and the said my boom is a...

I'm replacing the main sail. The boom is a U.S. Spars Z160. There are three internal lines (outhaul, topping lift, reefing). However, the previous owner didn't use original colors, or lengths. It's not in the owner's manual, not on the Z-spars site that I could find, and not previously...

I have a 1984 Hunter 27 I need the Reefing/Outhaul Line jamb on the Starboard side of the boom. I would assume that this part would be common across the Hunter line, but I've been wrong before. The salvage yards I contacted are not willing to part out the boom. Anyone one know of one that...
