Blew up my furler today. May become a frankenboat soon if I don't come up with a cheap replacement.

General arrangement. Left my SUP paddle at home. The paddle clips work very well. Need to rig a JC strap to hold boom out when paddling.

Been meaning to screw a bar to the aluminum plate that would swing across the furler and get secured under a "hook" There is nothing that keeps the rig in my boat, outhaul tension loads it enough I can't lift it up and have turtled it a bunch of times. There are 2 half-moon protuberances on...

I did the velcro trick, better but didn't cure it, need more thickness. Keep meaning to go to fabric store and get non-stickyback 1/2" wide velcro to add thickness a strip at a time until it works better. There was slot carpet at some point, 1 of 4 strips was still there when I got it. 29er...

The original setup was a strap around 1 to 1.5 feet long with a loop over boom. Your nub keeps the loop from sliding forward to the "gooseneck" when running square (it would never tend to slide aft so the single nub is all it needed). At botom of strap was a single block with becket on a swivel...

MK I version was just quickie to add the bridle with forward block in original location to see if there were any snags. Don't recall how I picked the location for aft block, probably not too close to outhaul and "looks about right"  Later I moved the front strap mount and front block forward to...

I pulled my thwart and moved my hiking strap and mainsheet block forward to rear of dagger trunk, much better upwind with weight forward. Added a mainsheet  bridle aft for end boom sheeting and dropped it to 2:1 . The end boom leverage vs mid boom makes up for the loss of the 3:1  I do miss the...

VIKING MARINE, don't see a model number

Will check mine for markings in AM
