Profurl L31 roller furling

Ahoy you Salty Dogs and Cats...

Wondering if anyone knows where I can get additional extrusions for the L31 Profurl?

I have checked at the big names online and even call Wichard/Profurl. They informed me that they haven't made that furler since the late '80's and the extrusions are no longer available.

How did I come by this marvelous piece of obsolete gear you ask? Ebay. It was listed as "new" had pictures of a nice shiny profurl. They stated the unit had been used as a display model and was brand new. I won the auction for $493 and I'm stuck with an unusable and obsolete "new" roller furling. The seller, of course, won't take it back...but that is a whole other story.

I'm looking to salvage this possible loss by locating any Profurl Extrusions with a diameter of 31mm. I would need 30' or 5 extrusions. Any ideas, info or thoughts?

Aloha, Mike
