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. Mike Virginia Lee 93295 C&C

I wouldn't worry about the step. It is massive compared to the mast. I would worry about corrosion of the base of the mast. I would at least paint the base of the mast with a polyimide epoxy primer or coat the base in tefgel. Neil Schiller 1970 Redwing 35, Hull #7 (C&C 35, Mark I) "Corsair"
