Is it a new-age link tang or a modified pump shaft from a wastewater treatment plant ??? It's both !!!! 
The most creative artistic craftsman, Bill (i.e. crane operator extraordinaire during demasting and Erection parties), came to the rescue when I discovered I needed a connector between the new roller furler-headstay and bow of the boat.
Seven inches between pin eye centers, this solid stainless steel shaft is bound to create shaft envy amoung sailors ;)
Instead of being right on top of the anchor, the new shaft has raised the roller furler drum up above the anchor, giving it more of the cruiser style :) Everything happens for a reason...
With shaft in place, the rigging was tuned and the jib raised :)A little tug from the wind, a little tug on my heart.
Stainless Steel the wind from my breath... Let's go sailing !!!!!
