You do know what hardware was on the old mizzen, right?

SS? Bronze? $$$? $$$$$$$$?

Bristol Bronze in Rhode island, GOOGLE can find the phone number. Call Roger, tell him what you need, see if he can help.

Hamilton Marine in Searsport, ME for SS rigging, blocks, etc. GOOGLE knows them too.

Your local riggers? Local marinas/boat repair folks for used gear? There should be a bunch of boats that got beat up in last year's storms with useful bits and pieces on them.

Bowlocks! you need Classic Marine (http://www.classicmarine.co.uk)

They can set you up with everthing you need, either from stock or made to order. I personally think the prices are decent.

For bronze Port Townsend Foundry (http://www.porttownsendfoundry.com/home.htm) They do nice work and can make anything.
Toplicht (http://www.toplicht.de/) has a huge selection off the shelf.
If you want to make your own, you can get silicon bronze plate and strips from Atlas Metal (http://www.atlasmetal.com/index.htm) Mast bands, boom ends, goosenecks are fairly easy to fabricate.

If you haven't done it before, Miami, ask before you put a torch to a 20-dollar bronze strip.

Different critter than steel....and mistakes are costly.

Thanks for the sites and info. I already have Port Townsend and Bristol Bronze in my favorites. I find most "on the shelf" goosenecks etc. are for dinghies, I guess I will have them made, but I'm hoping to find something used.
The thought of using local riggers as a resource is really funny. I am in MIAMI FLORIDA. What is spanish for gooseneck? What is german for gooseneck (see toplicht.)

Here's the gooseneck page from the Toplicht catalog. They have off the shelf gooseneck parts for masts up to 9" dia. Call, fax or email them. They speak english better than I do. The cost will be about half of what a custom job would be and their service is very good.
