All, I hesitate to write this as I don't want to be inundated with
responses. But I have a Navk (that is missing a few parts) and I am going
to sell what I have. I will sell it very reasonably plus packing and
shipping by UPS. The biggest problem is shipping unless you live in the
greater Seattle/Puget Sound area. It is pretty big and not all that light. I
really don't want to disassemble the thing more than it is (right now it is
in three big pieces wind vane assembly, main frame assembly, and water
paddle) -- so it would take a large box.
Here is what I think I have (I have never used a Navik as I have used
Monitor on my other boat that I did have a vane on) - The paddle and trim tab that goes in the water -- appears complete.
- The main frame unit with the tubes and the wood thing that takes the
rope and a couple turning blocks. This also has the tall vertical post. Plus
I found some brackets for mounting it to the boat (I think that is what they
are for).
- The black turret thing and the swivel/ratchet thing that fits into it
that the wind vane attaches to. Not sure what the condition of this is, but
have it. I can see that some of the degree markings have been worn off.
- The wind vane blade with counter weight -- it says Navik on it, so it
is an original I guess. It does have a very slight warp in it, but it is
very minor and I suspect it would be easy to straighten with a little weight
and moisture.
- What I think is missing is the rod that connects the top wind vane to
the water paddle. Well I have part of it. I have the top swivel fitting and
part of the shaft that appears cut off a couple inches below the top. I
can't find the bottom of the shaft or the bottom swivel fitting (which is
probably the same as the one on top).I am selling this as I am not going offshore for a few years because of some
commitments I have and when I do I will probably buy a new unit.
Price: I have no idea what it is worth.
