Ericson 32 Custom Chainplate Backing Plates and Tie Down Rods
Bent Selden Masts Boom. If a rigid vang is present, especially a hydraulic one, be mindful of your vang tension vs. your sheet tension or you could bend your new boom. Discovery Yachts 56
Even new boats can have their issues. New mast boot to replace the factory one that leaked. It’s all in how you install it! Discovery 56
After finding the matching pair of stanchion bases to match the rest of the boat. We added an additional set of stanchions near mid-ships, which always looked like one was missing. We also converted it from a single course to a double course. We completed the set with a solid rail for the aft lower lifeline. Looks very factory! Luders 33
