Jim: Found a complete Sabot leeboard assembly a Minney's Yacht Surplus in Coda Mesa, CA. They were really helpful, sent many pictures to confirm everything and shipped to me in WA. I tried two places in San Diego. San Diego Marine Exchange had nothing used and new parts on a 6-8 week backorder. The second place in San Diego wouldn't work with me at all to exchange email attachments to confirm parts (worried that I was a faker and sending him malware) and also wouldn't ship, accept a credit card or even a check!!??!! Amazing little out there for the leeboard bracket assembly. Rudder - easy. Leeboard (the wood bit) - easy. Even a full standing and running rig - easy. Found it very weird and frustrating. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!

Nice Dave!, Where did you get the lee board bracket I know you were asking me about the one I used on my Naples Sabot. Jim

After many unknown years and some hunting for missing parts I have M6'8" hull 650 once again sailing!
Friends Stan Susman, Gary H. Oberbeck, Marty Loken and Jerry Montgomery helped out a lot.
Took a three hour shakedown first sail. No surprise and she sails GREAT!
Thanks to Marty for taking and sharing the attached picture!
