Hi all,
where can I find a stemhead fitting for my Hartley TS16. It looks like this is not the sort of item that is carried as a standard product by the major suppliers of fittings, and I'm guessing I might have to get one custom made.
I was looking for something that has a tang going down the forward side of the stem, and three mounting holes on a vertical strip running fore/aft along the center line of the boat. One hole at the stemhead for the forestay, one a little way inside that for a roller furler, and one even further inboard for a smaller jib once I've rolled up the big one in a blow.
Any ideas?
