A question for @Christian Williams, in the forum for the sake of general consumption: I have recently joined the prestigious and exclusive club of people who have broken their Kenyon boom aluminum gooseneck castings. I have been able to order a replacement from Rig-Rite and plan to add a set...

Is anyone else having trouble contacting Rig-Rite? I had ordered an outhaul assembly for my Kenyon boom and never got it. I have tried calling repeatedly and get no human beings - just a message system which results in nothing... If Rig-Rite is done does anyone have advice on spar parts for an...

I'm looking to replace my old and non-functional gimbaled Kenyon with a new non-pressurized Cookmate 4200. From what I can tell from the measurements, I sounds like the recessed cookmate will drop right in to the gimbal that was used for the 209. But I'd like to be sure before I bought it...

Hi, I recently bought a 78 ericson 27,, which I'm really enjoying. It came with a kenyon alcohol stove. I'm trying to get it to work to no avail. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this, Or should I scrape it and get something else?

Boom for sale from 1987 28'. Good condition. All sheaves and cleats working. $300.00 obo. Chris 310-529-4474:egrin:

I have a Kenyon boom on my 30+. At the mast end of the boom I have exits for my two reef lines. There is an additional bolt next to the sheaves that an avid sailing friend of mine mentioned may have had a rope stopper as an option. This would be something that I would like to get if it does...

I plan to rewire my 32-3 Kenyon mast this winter. I think the current wiring was not placed behind the main sail track as is possible on the Kenyon spar. Has anyone tried to remove that main sail track to allow access to the "conduit" area behind it? Anybody know if the wiring on their...

My 1989 E34 mast has two extra exit slots, one on each side of the mast, apparently with messenger lines tied to washers. Are there sheaves for these at the masthead? I need to install a spinnaker halyard.

During the off season, while the mast was laying on saw horses in the yard, the sail slide stop disappeared. I suspect that someone who lost theirs overboard snitched it but that is neither here nor there. I got a quote from Rig Rite for a new one. Scroll down to see a picture...

Greetings, I am about to install a wind machine on the mast head of my '88 E34 equipped with a Kenyon mast. I currently have the wires for the masthead light, steaming light, VHF & TV antenna cable running down the mast. I know the area behind the sail track contains these wires in some...

Just below the lower spreaders the track for the sail slugs is sectioned with flat head machine screws in each piece. The upper screw backed off and was sheared off by the sail slide. Do these screws just go into a flat piece inside the mast? With the missing screw, the sail slides tend to hang...

I have located a company Rig Rite for Kenyon parts, great website. But they had a fire recently and aren't available by phone?? Does anyone know a west coast supplier for Kenyon spar parts. I need the piece that goes into the end of the boom at the gooseneck. Julian

I am continually fearful of one day droping the gate overboard. I would not expect it to float! Are replacements available? Is a different design available which attaches outside the track and would allow the sail lugs to settle further down the track and contibute to better flaking?

Well the mast was unstepped last friday, no problems at all, all the fastners were removed as well as the rivets, lots of work, Selden supplied the rivets 4.8 X12.7 mm, 3/16 inch, which takes care of the spinnaker track, the exit plates, sheave boxes and assorted small fittings. The larger tee...

i have a 1984 ericson 381, i am getting ready to pull the mast and inspect the fittings prior to disassembly and painting with awlgrip, my questions are these. 1. i did some research on replacing the rivets, i will use zinc chromate coated monel rivets, the majority of them i suspect are 3/16"...
