Hi everybody,
I'm a newby on here, having just got an old Vivacity 20ft yacht, which we sailed for the first time this weekend. I've got virtually no experience of sailing apart from recently completing the competant crew course, my patient sailing partner is an experienced dinghy sailor, she's also an instructor. The boat is on an inland lake and we plan to put her on the sea once confident about sailing (and all the navigation aspects etc). Here's a pic:

Unfortunately we (well actually she!) managed to drop the barrel from a B&A rigging screw overboard, any ideas where I can get a replacement? It was 80mm long by 40mm wide approximately, the bolt that went in seemed to be about 10mm in diameter:

Any ideas where I might find a direct replacement? I know I can buy SS alternatives, but as these are on the 4 side stays it would be nice to keep them the same. That is if they are strong enough, perhaps SS ones would be stronger?
Thanks in advance! Marc
