Olympic Monotype

Currently on Apollo Duck (ID 333197), this has to be a REAL classic racer.
Must surely be of some interest to you Roadford Finn sailors - You would then surely have the oldest classic!!!! :D

Re: Ronstan traveller car wanted.

Neil, I have a pair of RF381s which I believe are identical. Both have a 21.5" stainless strop attached. I also have a 48" length of track with end stops.

If you are interested please pm me.

Thanks, Craig

Re: OK Deck Mast Bearing

Rich, been away and just saw your post. If it's not to late I may have what you need. Old top and bottom bearings for a Boyce.
They are at the Club, not at home, so would have to wait until weekend to measure.
Perhaps you could give me a call on 01224-745491 if you are interested.

Re: OK Mast

Peter, where do you stay? I have an alloy mast and boom (Needlespar and Boyce - I think) to which you would be welcome. They are currently at Loch Earn in Pertshire
