First 30e parts

[Iaino]

Hi,
I hope to do a major refurb on my 30ethis winter, including headlining, rewiring and new gooseneck / reeling systems.
Can anyone advise on supplier for parts for 1982 first 30e?
Thanks

I have been trying to find the bronze rudder head replacement for my 1984 30E. I contacted a Beneteau dealer and I was told Beneteau doesn't support parts for the Beneteau First 30E anymore. My plan is to see if I can get a custom made head out of aluminum or bronze using my existing head as a pattern. If you happen to find a supplier please post on the forum.

Rigrite does have parts for the Beneteau First 30E mostly mast and boom related which could help you on the gooseneck part of your rehab project.

I found a danish company www.riggerne.com and they supplied the gooseneck fitting for less than half of what rigrite were quoting me.It is manufactured by sparcraft and is great value!
