For use on 36/300, 36R, US 1M, IOM, M, 10R and similar sized boats. The swivel wire is 1.5 mm diameter and may not fit a 35-020 eyebolt in the deck depending on the shape of the hook. A 35-008 or 35-025 will probably be a better choice of fitting for the deck.

Replacement bearings - choose BF-120D from the SPARES section of this website.

The design of the fitting means no holes are required in the boom at the point of greatest load thus minimising the chance of failure. Adjustment to the position of the part is easy to achieve using the lock screw of the boom track slide ref 104-050.

The SAILSetc boom spar system is designed to be used with the track on the starboard side so that access to the adjustments is possible with the boat placed port side down. That seems logical because it is then possible to pick up the boat with the left hand/arm and hold the transmitted with the right hand allowing the boat to be launched and the rudder to be controlled at the same time. That's our story anyway. But there are people who want the track on the port side and we have a special supply of left handed 120D especially for them. Please ask.
