Main Sail Clew Boom/Goose-Neck Attachment Fitting

Post by GCushing »

Hi,
Heading out to race Saturday evening the boom/goose-neck bolt lost its nut and the boom came away from the mast. We pulled up to a pier to make a repair and dropped (not sure what this is called) the receiver through which the clew is pinned to the boom/goose-neck, into the water. I am seeking a replacement and do not know what the piece is called or where to find it. Please let me know if you can point me in the right direction.
Regards,
George

This would be the fitting the bolt is threaded through before it goes through the piece that fits the boom to the mast bracket. (this is getting difficult, hopefully someone gets it).

Update:
Was able to recover the part with a diver. Disregard request.
