Close 48mm or about 1.9 inch OD. Fits perfectly inside the factory anchor roller. I have put a larger anchor roller on the port side.

Genoa now has its own flying sail furler as well and is going to go where the spinnaker goes, new RF Jib is on order and due in six weeks.

so where are you going to move the spinnaker to-
i sure like the roller furling on the spinnaker- what is that set up?
