does anyone know if the threads on the turnbuckles on the standing rigging of a 1985 first 305 have metric or imperial threads? if they are metric, are they available? (I am looking at buying a 305, however the surveyor is saying the turnbuckles must be replaced due to crevice corrosion)

I'm surprised how many things on my 2006 B323 are metric. I guess they are all supplied from France. No doubt yours are, too, but I can't say for sure. I would think Beneteau could provide a source for the turnbuckles. Or maybe a rigging shop?

You should be able to buy a thread guage to check.
