mr stevenson, you mentioned rigging kits......I happen to be in need of such right now.........when do you think you'll have them available? I'm itching to finish up and get going.............being lazy I like the word 'kit' . saves me from having to think....bruce
Bruce,
I'm working on that this week. I'll let you know in a couple days as I have to hear back from a couple suppliers. Sorry to tease about availability, but I don't quite know myself yet!
Thanks,
Mike
Mike! ME TOO! I'll buy the kits yesterday! Some parts are really hard to come by, like the stainless 5/16" eyebolts for the gooseneck. Impossible to get them long enough to pass through a 3-1/2" mast.Â

If you're willing to pay the price for stainless, you may want to consider going with a "real" gooseneck instead. They're available from a bunch of places - I think Duckworks has one.
Me - I have a monstrosity created from misc plumbing parts.
I used the gooseneck from duckworks and it works well,is compact,and looks clean.....also the pintels and gudgeons. they are very solid,no play at all.  bruce
