Jordan Series Drogue on 2040-parts.com
Stuart, Florida, United States
|
If you are looking at this ad, you know what a JSD is, and maybe you need one. I built this one, from the plans Sailrite offers, for my trip around the world (completed) starting in 2006. The drogue was designed for my 26,000 pound, 42 foot ketch. It is a total of 350 feet long with 110 sailcloth parachutes spaced at about 2 foot intervals. It has NEVER been used, except that one of the bridle halves has been put to light use since the voyage was completed and shows some ordinary cosmetic wear. Per the plans, the total length is divided into a two 25-foot bridle halves, of 3/4" nylon double-braid, an 80-foot leader of 7/8" double-braid continuing into an additional 80-foot length with 45 chutes. That is attached to a 165-foot length of 3/4" double braid with 65 chutes. All four of the rope segments are professionally spliced with SS thimbles at the bridle joint. The connection from bridle to the main segment involves very hefty shackles and an oval link, which are pictured and included. (There is an additional 25 feet of chain which is a "sinker" and weighs 48 pounds. I think many buyers would prefer to add their own weight rather than paying for shipping the chain so I am not including the chain in this sale. If the auction winner wants the chain I'll be happy to give it to them for the cost of shipping, which I'm guessing would be about the same as one of the two packages the rest will ship in.) I will ship the bridle, and the 3/4" segment in one box and the 7/8" segment in another. The two long segments will be joined by the buyer with a simple loop knot using the spliced ends. I am including also an old sailbag which can be used for storage or, onboard, for deployment.
This listing shows "pickup only" and for a Florida purchaser this might make sense. I will of course ship anywhere in the US, but the buyer will pay actual shipping charges to be determined after the auction closes. I'm doing it this way because ebay does not seem to have a provision for figuring shipping charges with more than one package. I will ship by UPS Ground. You can estimate the shipping (from Stuart, Florida) based on the following: box #1 weight: 50 lbs, L x W x H: 21x18x15 box #2 weight: 40 lbs, L x W x H: 19x19x16 |

London underpass to hold flood water
Mon, 10 Feb 2014A PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS is to be turned into an emergency pond to hold hundreds of thousands of litres of floodwater threatening homes and businesses in south London. The Purley Cross underpass will be used to hold water pumped from around 400 under-threat buildings in parts of Kenley and Purley and to stop a water treatment works which supplies tens of thousands of homes from flooding, Croydon Council said. The authority said the plan to use the underground footway to hold around 600,000 litres of water from tonight was approved after its "primary" pond at Purley Depot overflowed last night.
Help fund Driving Dreams – a documentary film dedicated to the masters of Italian car design
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Italian car designs of the 1950s, 60s and 70s are a fascination and inspiration to many – an era where some of the most skilled designers, craftsmen and engineers collaborated to reach what many believe a zenith. But while we may know everything there is about the cars of this period, the men who created them remain enigmatic largely due to their collective modesty. Daniel Tomičić and Gianluca Migliarotti are hoping to change this however, by creating a documentary film that tracks down the key players from the time.
Honda eyes $20,000 Insight in U.S.
Thu, 05 Feb 2009The Honda Insight hybrid hatchback may have a sticker price under $20,000 in the United States--and Honda might build it here if U.S. sales hit and sustain the lofty target of 100,000 a year. Both goals will be tough.
