Need to find a replacement pin for my port slip block for my genoa sheet line. I believe the block is the original equipment - but not sure. The pin is the pivot point between the rail and the block. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi sseibert3, Could you not improvise a small bolt or piece of s/s rod of appropriate diameter? You did not mention the maker of the hardware, but Schaeffer was one of the most common OEM, also a clone brand named Starbrite (Taiwan..I think probably out of business by now)and Mariner were often used by Ranger(Jensen), but really much depended on the sales broker or commisioning yard. I mean completed hulls were often shipped across contry without spars or hardware, to be supplied locally. Then again over the last 30 years or so previous owners may have added allsorts. Check out eBay from time to time..you may find a match. Good Hunting. BTW:nice picture. Howard
