! Check Rutgerson Slides

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have the FCL sails, which are connected to the Rutgerson mast slides. The connection is via a stainless grooved pin inside the aluminium slider, which is secured by a Allen type stud screw ( see Foto ).One morning I noticed that the batten was no longer connected to the slider, the pin had fallen out.

Luckily I found it inside the lazybag, the Allen stud screw was loose!  Checking all sliders I found three more which were loose. 

Advice: Check them once or twice a season and after raising the mast of course! Don't think that these pins can be found at any yacht chandlery.

	Good advice. I had similar issues with the Ronstan aka Frederriksen cars system too. Mark
