Brett,

Most of us who update our fittings do so because the old ones have worn out or we have seen a better system and keep the old bits as spares just in case. It's probably better to buy new fittings if you have to. Ronstan have a good selection per the link below:

Ronstan fittings are sold at most yacht chandlers.

Before you go off and buy new fittings make sure that you really need to. When you rig it up for the first time in the back yard make sure that everything works properly and can take all the stresses applied through the sheeting systems.

As for mainsails you can probably get a pretty good (competitive) 2nd hand sail for around the $700 mark through the VMCA website. New sails are around $1500. If you're really desperate I have a really old one with battens that hasn't been used for a few seasons. I'll get it out next time I'm down at Somers if you're interested.

Regards,

Peter
