You need to measure the size of the sail shackle as there are many different 
sizes and styles. It doesn't need to match exactly, just the length is 
important so the sail remains the same distance from the mast track.

The vent fitting is shot. I'd replace the whole fitting as you can see 
corrosion on what's left. It looks like Perko which made a lot of chromed brass 
fittings for boats. You need to measure the hose ID and the hole through the 
boat and these come in straight or 90 degree. West Marine and Defender supply 
those in several flavors, chromed brass like yours or stainless which is 
better. Either should have a screen built in to prevent mud dauber wasps from 
filling the hole, plugging the vent.

You can source these from other suppliers. I just found West Marine when I 
googled. I keep a handful of sail schackles onboard in my spare parts. Only 
ever replaced one.
