Have you seen this fitting?

[lar...@my-deja.com]

Hello everyone.

I'm restoring an old (1934) Spinnakerpole that was used on an old
wooden 12Meter.
I'm missing the other fitting for it. So before I decide on a different
fitting, I wanted to check if anybody has one like it?

Thanks for your help

Cheers Thor

That's a mighty small fitting for a Twelve Meter. I've never been on a
Twelve, but I've raced against them and I would expect a spin pole in
the 4-6" diameter range. Are you sure it wasn't used on a reaching
strut rather than a spin pole?

It was a fairly standard fitting twenty-five years ago, so you should
be able to find one. Try Marine Exchange
www.marineexchange.com

They have a lot of older stuff. Also try Bacon Sails in Annapolis.

Finally, there's a guy who goes to the boat shows that specializes in
old bronze -- based in Maine or possibly Nova Scotia. He's got a lot
of stuff. Sorry, I can't remember the name and can't find a card.

A German company called Toplicht has a number of fittings and equipment to
classic boats. You can download their catalog from http://www.toplicht.de
or order a paper copy. I guess you might find a lot of interesting items
from their 300-page catalog

I just scanned through their catalog and they had two fittings which were
not absolutely identical to yours, but the other was a very close match.

All the best to your project.
