[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: Out Haul Car

[Charles Nieman]

This time with the photo attached!

Since I don’t have a CoS, I can’t buy a replacement out haul car from GB (at any price, if I understand all that has been posted).

The attached photo shows a very old car, mostly stainless steel if I’m not mistaken. While this is obviously very durable, the metal seemed to not slid very well in the boom. A few years ago, I made the car at the bottom out of (I think) nylon. This worked very well until last week. As I was bringing in the sail, the bottom portion split off.

While I can bring back the old car for use. And I can fabricate another car like the nylon one. I’m wondering what the current design of out haul car is. Can anyone share what design they have on their boat, please?
