Hello to All
I have a Sovereign 5.0. The Gooseneck casting is broken. One of the legs of the shackle that holds the Main Sail Tack. Any ideas for a Gooseneck replacement? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I also need a Mast Step, Mast, and Sails.

Welcome to SBO.
Interesting choice of boats.
Your fiberglass trailer-able boat was built in 1980. It has had several names, most prominently the Sovereign 17.
Looking for parts, you will need to widen your search.
Wiki gives you some clues.
It was sold under a variety of names, including the Sovereign 18, Sovereign 5.0, Sovereign 5M and Adventurer 17
This will be like fitting out a boat from scratch. There are no sellers of the exact parts.
You could try Dwyer Mast & Rigging - Quality Sailboat Parts and Rigging. Bring them the specifications, and they may be able to help.

SailboatData lists the original specifications.

I think you really need to decide.
  • Do I want a boat-building project?
  • Do I want to go sailing?
