Hi All I recently had to cut one of the rigging screws off of my Beneteau Oceanis 400. Got put under pressure at Port Napoleon, France by two staff members who arrived before the booked time. The screw was seized and it was a case of cut it or miss our flights home. Basically I need a replacement. I have tried the Beneteau dealers in Ireland. They do not have it listed. I tried Z-Spars who I believe made the original as it has a Z stamped on it. They are still trying to get one they tell me. Tried more of the larger riggers in Ireland and the UK without success. Does anyone know where I can get one. I was quoted €300 to get one made. How does that price sound? Any info would be great. The rigging screw is a bit of an oddball and has a 16mm (left hand thread) on the deck end and a 19 mm thread on the other (wire) end. Its 315mm long and is open faced. Looks are not important as its inside a tube. I presume a used one would be OK. Thanks in Advance

Are you talking about a turnbuckle?

it appears that you are describing a turnuckle. it seems strange that you would have different thread sizes though. Z spar may have done the mast, but the rigging may be someone else. Try Johsson Marine or Hayn. or even possibly Navtec
