gooseneck

tl;dr - Boom-to-gooseneck fitment was found to be loose. This thread is dedicated to the re-fitment of these pieces, as well as the cleanup and replacement of some frozen sheaves on the fitting at the end of the boom. --- A few days ago, I was replacing the reefing lines on my 1985 Ericson 32-3...

Hello, i am in the embarrassing predicament of having to replace a boom to mast gooseneck connection and looking for some direction as to where I may find such a part.

Hello everyone! New to the site. Own an E25 (1976) and about to stand my mast back up. I have everything i need except a goose-neck and goose-neck toggle. I don't feel comfortable putting the one i took off back on. I have already replaced the majority of my rigging and hardware. i have searched...

I recently purchased a 1972 Ericson 27. It came in decent condition, with a good set of sails etc, but the seller had never actually sailed it substantially/successfully, so he wasn't really in a good position to explain the rigging. I've never sailed a boat of this size before, so I don't...

Can someone please tell me the correct reefing hook for this gooseneck? I plan to have double slab reefing Thanks Chris NaplesKayakCompany.com

One side of the bracket that holds the tack pin on my gooseneck toggle has broken. Does anyone know who made the toggle for a 1977 E32-2 and where I can get a replacement? Thanks, Charles Taylor

Hi everyone, Wondering if I can get some feedback on this. Take a look at the shots below. Before you comment, you should know that I just got this boat last month, and what you see here is prior owner rigging work. :egrin: Ok, here goes: 1. You'll note the gooseneck toggle and how...

Does anyone have a source for Goosenecks for an E27? I need the slide and the bracket that attaches to the boom. I have tried to get ahold of RigRite several times about it, but get no response back from them. Are there any other sources out there that people are aware of? Thanks, Doug

Goodmorning all. My 82 E33 has an ongoing problem with boom gooseneck loosening up while sailing. Currently the gooseneck slides insinde the aluminum boom and is secured with 3 screws. It seems the forces on boom while sailing continually work the connection of boom/gooseneck and the screws back...

Hi- The E27 I recently bought is missing the gooseneck. Has anyone found a replacement that works? I looked at RigRite, and they may have some that work, but I haven't made any measurements yet. Or if anyone has an extra one that they would like to sell, I'm interested. Thanks Doug

Hi All, I have an E35. Last weekend our gooseneck broke. Do any of you know where to get a replacement or parts? Our E35 is a 1981 model Thanks in advance! Dave Lusty dlusty@comcast.net:esad:

The mast/boom gooseneck fitting is missing on a boat I recently purchased. Anyone know where I can get one? Here's a pic of whats on the end of the boom. The mast track doesn't have anything on it to attach this to.

Today on the Chesapeake Bay at about 16 knots wind at 6.2 knots under sail the gooseneck fitting where the bolt attaches to the end of the boom sheared off and the gooseneck fitting where the bolt went thru is now malformed. I do know that it is an Isomat mast that has replaced the original but...

Hi all, I have an Ericson 23-1 and the previous owner it looks like changed the mast on it. And also lost the gooseneck. Does someone have any idea of what the proper gooseneck that would fit into this. Thank You, Marc

Hi All, Somehow the old owner of my 23-1 Hull #42 lost or broke the gooseneck toggle. I have been unable to find even a picture of it so I could get one made. I have a picture of the assembly without the toggle. Would someone have a toggle or at least a picture of it with dimensions so I...

A friend in my marina has an E29 , probably 1979 vintage or so and has lost his boom to mast gooseneck. Anyone know what make and where to get a new one??:egrin:

Here's a picture of my old bent and twisted gooseneck:

I broke my gooseneck yesterday as you can see in the attached photos. If they look familiar, they are since I found them from one of Loren's earlier postings. Has anyone replaced this part and if so, what should I expect to pay. I don't like the robustness of this design, there is too little...

I have an Olson 34 with a Kenyon boom. The boom fits over an aluminum casting that forms the gooseneck. The casting plugs into the boom about 3” and is held in place with 4 evenly spaced s/s screws around the perimeter edge of the boom. Apparently there is enough play in this connection to...

The gooseneck (Kenyon 3756) on my Ericson 34 cracked last month. After placing an order with Rig Rite in Rhode Island 5 weeks ago, I am now being told they have no idea when they can ship a replacement due to heavy backload caused in part by a factory fire earlier this summer. I'd appreciate...

I am in need of a replacement for the gooseneck. does anyone have suggestions on where to look? Thanks :esad:

I have located a company Rig Rite for Kenyon parts, great website. But they had a fire recently and aren't available by phone?? Does anyone know a west coast supplier for Kenyon spar parts. I need the piece that goes into the end of the boom at the gooseneck. Julian

One of the findings in my recent rig survey was that the vertical hinge in the gooseneck toggle fitting was wearing and it was recommended that I install a sacrificial washer to reduce that wear. When I went to do the job I discovered that the 1/2" pin that had to be pulled to do this, was...

The gooseneck fitting for my mainsail boom came out of the boom. For a picture see: http://www.hogtimemusic.com/photos/gooseneck.jpg Two of the three screw holes in the boom appear to have worn over time to become slots. Looking for any suggestions for a fix. I'm thinking of...

I am looking for a gooseneck for my 1978 Ericson 27. Does anyone know where I might get one? Thanks, Hal
