I have always liked the principle of trailed logs - a devise for measuring distance travelled through water. Trailed logs were a fixture on every cruising yacht in earlier days until the advent of electronic navigation instruments. One of the advantages of these "antiquated" instruments is the lack of power requirements - what, no batteries. There is one problem with
trailing logs - apparently they attract sharks, most logs come with a spare spinner but that's only allows two shark attacks. I thought that there might be a need for spare spinners. I have been producing spares for Wasp type logs. Check out ebay .......... I'm looking for a "Walker Log" to replicate. The Wasp blades are cast with copper filled epoxy with a brass and stainless body.
Do you have any WASP spinners available?
ReplyDeleteDo you still have any of the Wasp Spinner/logs as in your photo or would you be prepared to put one together .... I would be very grateful k_willmoth@yahoo.co.uk and how much?

ReplyDeleteWondering if this gentleman still manufactures the spinners. He hasn't replied to any of the comments.
