The Yacht Shop in Halifax has an original Mk 1 swivel in the parts
bin.
$175. Half the cost of new and not much different that the cost of
replacing the bearings and clips (over $1/bearing online)
I'll have to remove the bottom of the furler, drum etc to take off
the old and replace.
Relatively painless (he says BEFORE attempting replacement). Thanks
for the advice.

First thing I did was take the spinniker halyard off the mast clip
and move it around the spreader and over to the lifelines - but
that didn't solve the issue.
i think the locking clip came partially loose (maybe it caught on
something) - and from then on it was gradually pushing itself out
as I was furling and unfurling.
Couldn't get the right people at North Sails today - but should
talk to them in the morning

Calypso's spin halyard will tangle if it is not secured
against the mast before un-furling the headsail. I'm not
sure if it contacts the swivel itself or the sail's head.
I use a ATN spin sock which allows the spin to be snuffed
close to the leeward mark. When the spin is hoisted and
flying the sock itself covers the upper swivel and would
foul it if the headsail is roller out while the spin is
flying.
I have not yet figured out a way to roll out the headsail
until the spin halyard is all the way aft but I have gotten
faster at clearing the halyard off the sock/spin and back to
the mast.
