Bowsprit 920 Touring (2005)

Unfortunately we bent the bowsprit on our 2005 920 touring, can anyone tell us where we can get a lenght of 60mm aluminium tubing to replace same?

Regards,

I would think part of a spinnaker pole/boom should do the trick.

Thanks for that Bo, was thinking along the same lines but wondered if there was any difference in the thickness of material would that matter?

Just measure the thickness and use/buy the same or bigger wall thickness. I would think it's 2.5 or 3mm. The aluminium will certainly be the same marine quality.

Bo,
Was at the Dublin Boat Show today and have a rigger working on the problem for me, so hopefully we will get ourselves sorted.

Thanks again,

Roger

a slice of aluminium mast from a topper sailing dinghy works for the 800 and assume about same for your 920, can sometimes find bent ones available post turning turtle in the mud.
