Joe,

Sounds like your 3 year old had the most fun <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.
Also sounds like the gooseneck travels on a sliding track. Is that correct ? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Haven't seen that setup since my days of sailing scow Moths. Most of the Mozzies have a fixed gooseneck position and adjust the downhaul constantly with a pulley system for sail flatness/fullness. See link to image below.

The gooseneck fitting is rivetted to the mast and your 3 year old will never be able to remove it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If you really want to just replace the missing part and don't think that it's a Rostan Fitting then try making an enquiry with Riley via the link below:

If you think that the gooseneck system replacement is justified then Australian High Performance Catamarans (AHPC) can mail orders anywhere. The gooseneck system in the image is from AHPC. http://www.ahpc.com.au/home.htm Just mention that it is for a Mozzie and it should be easy to fit assuming that you have a rivetting gun. I phoned AHPC for a hound fitting on Wednesday and had the part delivered on Friday.

I've given the product number from Riley in my earlier post, I don't think you'll be able to order the fitting direct, and website is not much good for gaining specific information. The catalogue I am refering to is the latest.
Peter is right though, if you want a more modern, fixed fitting the AHPC gooseneck would be the way to go, you would looking at $75.00 for a AHPC gooseneck, I don't know what your replacement Riley fitting would be.
