Home made roller furler for jib

[JKCMBOAT]

Have a 1984 Hunter, 25.5. I'd like to make a roller fueler for my jib sail. I've been told I can do this for about $75 with hardware store parts.

Does anyone have a parts list and drawings / plans they can send me for how to do this this? My jib currently attaches to the fore stay using brass clips.

Many thanks,

Joe

This was one I came across a bit ago, was for a smaller boat, but should at least give a good idea of what to look for.

Thank you, yes, I found that in a google search but I still have some questions on the application.

I've only skimmed it, really, I just remembered seeing it. As I don't trust myself to those sorts of things, I'm saving to just purchase a ready-made for mine, and have a jib bought for it. I'm paranoid when it comes to parts that hold my mast up, and would rather not leave that to my own doing. I do that enough already!
