bronze sail tracks

[trv]

where can i buy or find bronze sail track for my wooden boat?

Toplicht has it in several sizes for external slides and one for internal slides. It's expensive though. I'd like to find a domestic source myself.

What/where t is Toplicht?

It's avaliable at Bristol Bronze (http://www.bristolbronze.com) but it is $8.50 to $10.50 per foot

I outfitted the kid's boat extensively in bronze quite cheaply over the course of last winter by going to Ebay Motors boat accessories and searching for "bronze" once a week.

Lights, winches, vents, cars, blocks, screws. tracks, bolts, latches....it's all there eventually. Found a lady in Fla that way demoing a 1920's vintage sloop and also picked up extras for the next boat.

At $10/ft. for bronze, the fahncy Harken stuff might be within reach if you can deal with the aesthetic issues.
