Masthead Fitting

Post by tmackey » Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:19 pm

Hi,
I am restoring a Swift 18. The masthead fitting is missing. Does anyone have any pictures of what it looks like? Can the part be bought or will I need to have one fabricated? There are no Swifts close to me that I can examine.

If you mean the typical wilnd unit fitted there is a picture of mine in Gallery2 for boat 'Nuestro' - picture is titled 'forestay 020'. However, this is a NASA unit so you can view any for sale online.

Thanks for the reply. It was actually the mast fitting that holds the sheaves and the backstay attachment point that I needed pictures of but o got them in the meantime.
