Bronze Sail Track Slides - Extras?

[Bob Gehrman]

Hi All -

Let me know if anyone has any of the cast bronze 7/8" sail track slides they would be willing to sell to me. I need 15 more to replace the ones on my sail. I've already reached out to Quill and Quantum but neither have any. Other than my marine consignment shops you're my last hope!

Thanks!

Bob,

 

What about Bacon’s in Annapolis.  They may have a beat up, old sail that has some.

 

Cheers,

 

Butch

Bob-

They're available, but you may have to have them shipped from overseas.  Here's two sources in the US:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/323270829904  

Overseas may be cheaper even with shipping if you want new:

Thanks Dan - Those are the bent metal ones that I have now. The cast ones look like this:

Neither of those offerings has 7/8” slides.

For cast, you could try JM Reineck & Son:  http://www.bronzeblocks.com/  .  You need to open/download their catalog.  A search for "slides" has the 7/8" at the bottom of page 3.

These truly look like the 7/8" slides that my former boat had. Good find, Daniel.
