Doug: For the email list you need to reduce the size of the image ... I can't remember the exact size limit but something 200-300MB should be OK (I think). :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com On Wed, Sep 5, 2018, 8:41 AM Doug 9326 <doug9326@gmail.com> wrote:

Ignore the last email - '80 means a 17! (Duh on my part).
A picture will really help as your boat's mast is different shape/size than one you can nkw get now (as the mast manufacturer for your boat is no longer around).

The year is 1980. The fitting is whatever it is that holds up the forestay on the mast. So the mast fitting is the aluminum metal casting which the forestay is attached to on the mast just above the jib fitting.

My forestay mast fitting broke and I found out when the mast was down or it could have been more serious. I jury rigged a fitting in order to enjoy some sailing this last weekend on Odell Lake, Oregon. But now I need to know how to permanently replace this fitting where the forestay attaches to the mast. I would appreciate any ideas on that one. All there is left is the oblong hole in the mast where the fitting used to be.
