Hi Thomas I don't have a picture of the two eyes as the boat is in storage under a heavy cover until June. One of the eyes is in the standard position with the other about 2' further aft. I think the aft eye was originally intended for the genoa rather than used for furling purposes. AFAIK...

New furling jib

Hi Elly Sorry about the late reply. I bought most parts of a "Nemo Wonderfurl TR model" cheap in used condition, and later secured additional parts in new condition directly from the Nemo supplier in Italy.
