Need help finding a part for 23.5 Hunter

[wenckebach]

We are new to sailing and bought a 23.5 Hunter (1993) last year. While trailering it this spring the the bracket for the port spreader on the mast broke. We are having trouble finding a replacement. There is a sailboat dealer in Memphis and they are looking but have been unable to locate a replacement so far. Does anyone have any suggestions on finding this or is there something from another boat brand that we can use to replace it with? We are ready to put the boat in the water, but have to find tihs first! Any suggestions? Thanks.

(PS - the mast is made by Zspar)

Try US Spars

http://www.usspars.com/partorder.asp?Part_ID=3176

Check the casting to see if there is a part number I think it is 3176

Look on page 8 of this catalog:

I believe that US Spars is the American division of Z-Spar.

Just thought of it

What happened with the other spreader issue that looked likeit was going to result in a new mast and some one had an old mast to give up?

There should be an orphaned spreader bracket or two in that mix
