Holt Allen boom claw

[31seahorse]

Hello Members, A poorly managed docking by me caused a broken Aluminum boom claw on our 19 foot Celebrity sailboat. I have created an alternative attachment for the mainsheet, but I would like an original arrangement on the boom. Holt Allen is the manufacturer and the designation HA 64 is on the lower end of the part. ID = 3.25 inches and OD = 5 inches. Picture attached.

I don't think that Holt markets those any more but there are a few on the market yet.. Measure carefully !

Thanks, kloudie 1 & sail sfbay, for your suggestions.

A phone call to Bacon Marine Parts in Annapolis produced success. They had several in stock in the consignment area and thanks to a wise employee there the parts were organized well and easy for others to find. I ordered 3 claws so I could complete a matching set for my boat and have my original one plus another to offer to any other Celebrity owners who might need one. They were shipped to my home quickly and are ready to help us sail next weekend.
