This is a tough market in North America for sailboat spar makers and rigging equipment manufacturers. Late 2016 Hall Spars folded up their US operation in Bristol, RI and now NavTec rigging equipment seems to be following suit.
That said, if you need to get virtually any Navtec fitting, Seco South in Largo Florida has been the default “go to” place for replacement bits and pieces, rod rigging, etc. https://www.secosouth.com/online-catalog/ Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 LF 35 Padanaram, MA From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Harry Hallgring Jr via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2017 9:33 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Harry Hallgring Jr <hhallgr...@icloud.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Rod rigging.

If it is someone need to tell the Emirates Americas Cup Team. The last two announcements on the Navtec website were that they were expanding their manufacturing capacity, and that they were discontinuing manufacturing of Norseman fittings. Can the it be that the discontinuation of Norseman fittings has morphed into "out of business"? Can anyone confirm Mike's information?

All. NAVTEC has gone out of business. At the moment it looks like Hayn is trying to take up the slack. You should be able to have the balls made by a local machinist however, I would look at changing the rigging to either newer style rod fittings or dyform.
