[C320-list] Charleston spar - Toggle, threaded pin

[Jeff Hare]

Check with RigRite not Charleston.  It is probably the retail arm.

I suspect your age of boat has an Isomat boom profile which takes different
parts.  RigRite lists/sells all the parts I believe.

There was an interesting story that I used to know (back before CRS set it)
that I heard from Gerry.  It was something like that sailboat mfgrs got
together and formed a company in order to be able to afford to have Masts
made.  Foundries didn't want to deal with the quantities an individual boat
maker needed, so they got together and 'Charleston' manages the relationship
with the foundry and getting mast/boom extrusion time at the foundries.  I
may have some of the details wrong but that's the gist of it.

Ted,

I *think* the toggle changed some between your boat and later boats but I'm
not sure but it might depend on the boom you have.

Here's the Charleston spar manual.  Look at page 8 and you'll see what the
new toggle/pin looks like.

According to Gerry, earlier booms were more flat sections and angles,
whereas newer C320 boom share the same extrusion shape as the mast but
smaller diameter.  The newer C320 boom is cut from the mast extrusion of a
smaller Catalina (like a 22 or 27 or something) so that they didn't need to
use separate extrusions for the boom.

Does anyone know where you can get the toggle, threaded pin, and bushing
that goes between the mast and the boom?
