Okay, you need to replace your ring. Was there a question there? ;^)))

Where? Is that what you mean? ;^))))
I believe Somat was a French company. You won't likely find them anymore.
However, I think that Isomat makes them. Rig Rite sells these:

NB-26 Boom Components
Although no other components have changed, the NB-26 Boom has been produced with two (2) Different Gooseneck Arrangements. Both Goosenecks are pictured below, go to their respective pages for parts associated with them.
Note that some Booms have been produced with the Isomat AutoReef (single line) Reefing System, using specially modified Boom End castings. For details, See: Isomat AutoReef System.

How did your ring get undone?

Steve, is the attachment for boom at gooseneck the 2 black plastic spheres with 2 semi circle tension type rings/clips? If so I may have these from my former boom attachment. I had to redo my boom gooseneck attachment point to something else when I replaces my mast and can’t recall if I kept these. Let me know and I will check boat spares and can send to you. Jerry

Rig-Rite says there are two styles of this. The one that I copied above is the "new one" which has a ring. There is one with a semicircular clamp. If you look at the link I posted you'll see what I have tried to describe above.

There is "link" on the Rig-Rite site to the parts that make-up each of these goose neck assemblies.
