While demasting, my 1986 cape dory 26 lost one of my upper shroud parts. I cannot raise the mast or sail unless I can find a replacement. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can resource this replacement part?
Apologize for the large photo. Wasn't sure how to reduce the photo size.

That's called a toggle jaw. You would need to measure the diameter of the cross pin and the diameter of the threaded
shank, then you could order one from Rigging Only, here in Fairhaven, Mass. If you could find a local rigging supplier,
that would be even better. The customer reps at Rigging Only are helpful and will get you what you need.
Good Luck! - Jean

west marine had them when i needed replacements for my typhoon. these are larger but as i remember they had larger ones also.
most of the marine supply stores should have them also - defender, hamilton, jamestown, etc.

Any marine salvage shop has bins of toggles, turnbuckles, and various rigging parts that can be had for a couple bucks. There must be a marine salvage shop in the Chicago area.
