Keel Lift Block

The double pulley block mounted on the flot pin sticking up from the keel snapped. Is anyone aware of a source for a replacement part?

This part could be a couple of different models. Pull the old one out and have a look at it. You should be able to figure out the model from the cheeks. You'll likely need to have a local shop with a drill press modify the new one by drilling out the rivets which mount the sheaves, so that you can run lag bolts through them. The bolts mount and act as axles.
We would welcome your participation as a class member, if you've not already done so.
