Stus-List Re: crank handle for roller furling boom on a 30 mk1

[Bob Tallman via CnC-List]

Great toy store indeed.  Make sure to keep the length to a minimum to avoid too much rocking.

For grins regarding the size, is it 7/16, or is it 1/2? 

Just thinking if the measurements are in line with a ratchet drive, the square stock could be just a double ended female and use a ratchet drive.  

A socket will fit over the square shaft, and then you can use a standard setup to crank the boom.

Who is the manufacturer of the furling boom?

Picture or two of the interface in question?

Go to mcmaster.com and order a piece of square tubing the correct size.  When you get it, drill holes through one end and put a screwdriver or long bolt through it.  Use it to square up the boom.

We recently purchased a 1974 C&C 30 mk1. Our boat has a roller furling boom, but didn?t come with the crank handle. Does anyone know where I can a get a crank handle for the roller furling boom on a 1974 C&C 30 mk1? have one I can borrow (we're near Victoria BC)? or know of another tool that'll work in place of the original crank handle? Our boom's stuck at about 30 degrees from where it should be and I'd love to turn it back.
