Online store for rigging parts

[Kestrahl]

Can anyone advise me a good online store/chandler for rigging parts in the US?

I'm after a spacer to lift the furler off the deck and allow movement fore/aft and sideways, saw a nice setup on a oyster 46 but haven't been able to find it online.

Try defender.com for common rigging stuff, or rigrite.com for more specialized. I suspect rigrite can get anything you want, but you may have to ask.

Second the recommendation to try Defender but also try Mack Sails in Stuart FL which is also a full service rigging company Mack Sails Sailmakers for mainsails, headsails, genoas, spinnakers, lazy jacks or Sailing Services in Miami Sailing Services - Rigging, Lifelines, Winches, Furling Systems, Supplies, Ropes

My favorite online rigging shop is riggingonly.com

It seems you need a furler toggle. A quick Google search brought up this:

Second that. The best prices and helpfull advice on the phone.

A lot of rigging supply outfits on the internet just sell supplies but are not really riggers.

Rigging Only employs guys that really know rigging and do a lot of rigging themselves. Talk to Tom, he is a wealth of knowledge and a nice guy!

I'll second HopCar for Brooks Jones and Sailing Services, been around forever and manages to get me stuff over to the Bahamas

Try Sailboat Hardware, Boat and Yacht Line, Marine Electronics, Optimist Sail Boats and Parts which is owned by an experienced professional rigger.

I recommend finding a local shop where you can build a relationship and get good parts and advice. If your local guys don't want to help you sort this small problem, you have walked into the wrong shop.

I would recommend the integrated Schaefer link/toggle. They come in various pin sized and can be cut and drilled to the exact dimensions you need. They have a super nice finish too.
