I've got a 1984 Beneteau Frist 345 with Amoit Genoa cars. The sheave of
each car has developed a flat spot and they no longer rotate. I need to
replace the sheaves. I've contacted Beneteau in the US and they don't stock
the sheaves. I was referred to Rig-Rite, Inc. in Rhode Island as a source,
but they recently had a fire and aren't taking calls. In response to my fax
with the dimensions and a scanned photocopy of the sheave, they say all the
Amoit hardware is listed on their web site, but there's no match for what
they have. Nothing is even close.
Can anyone suggest another source for replacement parts?
Thanks,
