Boom gooseneck parts need replacing
Does anyone know the maker of the gooseneck fitting on the boom? Our 920 Extreme 2004.
Ours is very worn and we need to replace it. Can anyone suggest a supplier please.-

Re: Boom gooseneck parts need replacing
That spar is originally weak, made from the wrong material, and poorly designed.
I upgraded my DF1000R boom by welding a new one from stainless steel and extending the boom's E measurement by 100mm. This allowed me to fit a larger Square-Top mainsail onto my boat.
Attached is an illustrative CAD 3D image of the boom, and I can provide the dimensional drawings if desired

Thank you for your reply. Our rigger has supplied a new part which is modified from a Z spars part and looks exactly as our original toggle.
