Many thanks for expert advice. Present bowsprit was an amateur, Mickey Mouse affair, which surprisingly, worked. All O.K. until rammed on my mooring. Some fixtures are satisfactory, but I would like to improve on what was there. You've given me a good start. Thanks again.

Can anyone please advise as to how I construct a 6ft bowsprit, suitable for a 24ft cruising yacht? Would laminating marine ply + epoxy be strong enough? If not, what wood? Also, where can I buy the 'ring' end fitting? Has anyone a used bowsprit for sale, the easy way out!
