Damianc Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hello I am wanting to know if anyone has any photos of modifying a Mk1 to take a Mk2 rear beam that they could please post here? Cheers D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Wrap the end 30 cm of the beam in alfoil, mask off the area where the old beam sat, lay a bed of bog and bolt the Mk 2 beam in. Remove and replace beam when dry to remove alfoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damianc Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks Darcy. I will give you a call in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissy Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Ohhh Damianc I feel your pain. I hate my Mk1 travel system as well. How much would a Mk 2 one cost Darcy and do you have a tramp going as well or would it be best to ask if you have a Mk2 for sale, or know of one?

darcy1945 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Mk2 rear beam $100, your Mk1 tramp should be compatible. But I would persevere with the Mk1 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcy1945 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Looks good. Make sure that your mainsheet attachment to the boom, is back far enough to keep the traveller aligned, with traveller at centre of beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check that on the weekend when I rig the boat for the first time with the new stays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
