Harken/Holt/Ronstan Swivel Jammer

   Yeah it is for the 600. I dont wanna sound like a pansy but 

it killed my arms after about 5 minutes and tacking was a 

mission without being able to cleat going in and uncleat 

going out on the wire.

George you dont happen to have the one you took off the 600 

do you?

	I broke a holt swivel in a feva, singlehanded so not too much power either! Sailed the rest of the race with the sheet from the boom, good practice for the 100

	As Craiggo said, I have only ever seen Holt wiry mainsheet swivels collapse, two of them. And one of those was a replacement for it's predecessor which had collapsed.... Edited by Lukepiewalker

	If you can get one, the best for the 600 is the large Harken swivel. Its built like a brick sh*t house and will never let you down. Unlike the bendy floppy horrible holt wire ones !!!

	If its for the 600 mate I really wouldn't bother. I took them off both boats and was much faster because of it.

	Does anyone know where can i get one second hand? Or at least less than the 100 odd quid they are from pinbax and other shops. I need to get one as cheap as possible.
