The metal gooseneck fitting on the mast of my '34 failed. It attaches to the mast via 4 screws on each side. One of the two metal loops that accepts the boom end broke off. I have only gotten one estimate so far based on the photo I sent to my usual boatyard, of $1100, to remove, fabricate and replace. I'm waiting to hear back from some rig shops. I haven't tried to remove the piece myself but am guessing I won't be able to with hand tools, and I'm worried about stripping the screw heads.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to repair/replace without spending so much? Is there a market out there for used pieces like this? Any help would be appreciated.
