Why not order it from Dave at Sage marine- they have my swedging tool at the moment. -----Original Message----- From: Willy Gorrissen Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2016 12:32 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Head Stay I just discovered that my M 15 head stay has five broken strands. I know I need to replace the stay but until I can get a new one and install it what are your thoughts about sailing with the diminished head stay? Also who should I order the new head stay from?
