Boat: Currently Shopping, & Heavily in LUST! | . With a part of a far better design. My preference leans towards custom setups, that include a number of extra, usually non-standard features. Like Wichard snap hooks instead of horns, etc. Albeit with all of the tricks that one can do with anymore, it's a lot easier to customize ones , including their reefing setups. But you could trace out a template of the spar section, & compare it to those found in the major spar maker's catalogs, also. And then, when you find one which fits your section/profile. Then decide what features that you want it to have. One of the first probably being a full height (plus some) attachment fitting to connect it to the spar. More than likely, it being of the type which you both bolt (with numerous machine screws), & it to the mast tube. Ah, & BTW, do those bolts have tubes? I'd surely hope so, as that's a pretty highly loaded area of the spar... even with them. Such is an unusual setup. You can go to & download the Dashew's for free.

Boat: Currently Shopping, & Heavily in LUST! | . Which is a lot easier to , with, & to bend to shape. As it can be formed & shaped, etc., pretty much using only woodworking tools. Also, since it's lower in strength than is stainless, the fitting will be bigger, in terms of connective area. And that's a good thing, as it helps to spread the loads out over a larger area of the mast. Which is as well. Ergo, you'll have less issues with point loading, & with dissimilar metal , etc. Really, if you wanted to, the whole thing could be made entirely of aluminum. Though in reality, it's common for; the hinge pin, any hooks or high load fittings, plus the attachment screws that connect it to the mast tube, to be made of stainless. While isolating the 2 metals from one another as much as possible. If you do a simple or Bing image search for "sailboat goosenecks", & or "sailboat vangs" (where the vangs attach to the mast), you'll turn up all kinds of examples of what I'm saying. And also, there are some of such, plus lots off on the topic, in the Dashew's Which you can download for free, at Also, if you spend a bit of time talking to riggers, odds are they'll have a few used goosenecks, in need of a home laying around. Ditto on , etc. Though you may have to pull them off of the masts yourself, & perhaps buy the booms as well (for cheap). And the boom may actually be an upgrade, having more useful features than your one. Or, it may be a fairly simple matter to remove (or cut) the gooseneck off of it, & attach it to your boom (possibly requiring the services of a welder). One other option, to aide in getting a custom one made. Is to get some door skins, or 1/4" , & a hot glue gun, plus some 5-minute . And use it to make a mock up of what you're after. - Make the first set of patterns (for the wood) out of cardboard. And for the metal bits, just use some aluminum rod, & bits of coat hanger wire. Along with some line, or 1/8" line, to seize the bits together, in position. Again, using epoxy, or epoxy putty, if you want to get fancy, or a bit more structural, in terms of connecting them. But any fabricator will be more than satisfied if you use coathanger for the mockup's hinge pins, & other custom metal bits. If the rest of your , wooden gooseneck is reasonably well put together. Plus, take pictures & sketches with you, along with some dimensional drawings to the fabricator/rigger. Preferably ones of the mechanical/technical type. As they should cover most of what's needed, in terms of; specifications, angles, & material thicknesses, needed in order to make your (ideal) custom gooseneck. Though the "finished" gooseneck may require a bit of bending; possibly involving a hammer & or vise, in order to get it to fit perfectly. But that's quite common, & no big deal. BTW, this also applies if you happen to snag a used unit, from another vessel. Via a rig shop, used , etc. Once you have your new 9or pre-loved) gooseneck. All you'll need to do, is to drill the holes for the attachment screws, & bond/bolt the unit into place. Ah, & there's plenty of info on bonding Aluminum (& other metals) on the WEST System site, & in the downloadable & publications there. Though, strictly speaking, bonding your gooseneck to the mast, isn't truly a requirement, if it's well fastened, with numerous, tapped, machine screws. Though, them I'd bond (& simultaneously isolate) with Loctite. Good Luck! The Uncommon Thing, The Hard Thing, The Important Thing (in Life) Making Promises to Yourself, And |

. Goosenecks take a lot of abuse. Cast aluminium is ok for most , but would suggest another metal for serious off shore work. Bonding to the mast(assuming aluminum) of the fitting is best to distribute the loading. Have seen pop rivets break due to the shear loads inflicted on the fittings from wild jibs in high winds. | |

Join Date: Oct 2013. Posts: 547. Replacing or repairing gooseneck. I'm doing a big refit and trying to fix a couple things. Long story short: old gooseneck has some cracks in the welds (not entirely visible in this picture but on the vertical joint between the piece attached to the mast and the u shaped piece that the reefing hook slides into).
