Side Stay

[tomking]

I own a 1985 192 Oday, one of the two bolts on my standing rigging that holds my side stay has broken. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. Any suggestions

Thanks Tom

Tom,
I would talk to Rudy Nickerson at D & R Marine.
http://www.drmarine.com/ Rudy bought all the molds from O'Day when they went under, including the mold for the 192 and back in the mid 1990s, Rudy built about 6 of the 192s which he called the "Weekender." The chain plates that he used on his boats were similar to what you have on your 192 with the exception of a strut which was attached to the bolts in the cabin for reinforcement.
