Source for gooseneck for a 15' catboat

[Norman Bernstein]

Can anyone suggest a source for a suitable gooseneck for a 15' catboat?

Goosenecks are obviously 'hard to find' items... I haven't turned up anything much via googling. I know that RaceLite used to make a simple stainless goosneck assembly that used a short section of track screwed into the mast, for vertical adjustment.... but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Bristol Bronze has a lovely small gooseneck, but at a positively outrageous price.

Any suggestions?

Try Pert Lowell Co., Inc. makers of the Town Class sloop. They have bronze goosenecks. (978)462-7409. They are in Newbury, Mass. so you won't have to travel far.

Newbury is a relatively long way from here... and anything made of bronze is expensive! However, it's not a bad idea... I might consider that. I'd still prefer to find an S.S. gooseneck with a short track section....

Edited to add: Pert Lowell gets $174 for their bronze gooseneck... pricey, but not as bad as Bristol Bronze.

I'm sort of 'thrifty' myself and needing a goose neck for a 10 1/4 inch dia mast would have meant a LOT of $$$$, so I'm working on patterns for my own castings. ;)

Thanks for the tip, carlg.... Duckworks had precisely the kind of goosnecks I was looking for.
