Has anyone heard of a website called www.pricerunner.co.uk?
It is a website where you type in what you wanna buy, and it search's the web and finds the best price for you.
Does anyone know of anything similiar for chandelry?

I'm looking to buy a Harken Swivel with Duo Cam (product 216). But the cheapest I can find is about £200! I know this is an expensive bit of kit, and I expect to pay alot for it. But at this price little differences make big differences, if you know what I mean.

Been using pricerunner for years - very good at mainstream products.

Never tried it for sailing stuff.

Think they'd be a bit heavy on a Cherub, and no good for holding control lines.

Stuberry is the swivel for Strawberry?

I have on on my FB but I'm not sure you'd want one on a Cherub.  Sail an 800 first to see what you think but I dont like helm-wiring boats that have jammers for the main...plus you suddenly have bits of string etc to negotiate in the tacks.

If you still want one speak to Kevin Ellway, he had a home made jobbie on his Slug with about 3 controls all on the swivel.

The main is staying off the boom, that's the crews job (upwind).

Was hoping to use the swivel jammer on a turret in the middle of the boat for the jib and kicker. That's what I'm concentrating on upwind.

Will get in contact with Kevin, sounds much cheaper than Mr. Harken!
