Brass or bronze sail track and slides.

[burgundyben]

Someone must have an old dinghy rig hanging up.

I need a length of brass or bronze mast track, smaller the better, straight, screw holes ok, about 1mtr would do, with half a dozen slides.

Its actually for a curtain to draw across the heads.

Nobody?

Why not be like the rest of the world, and use curtain rail for curtains?

Because its a 60 year old boat and I want something a bit authentic looking.

You could put it behind a tasteful wooden pelmet, and then nobody will see the actual rail.

Well yes, I could, but I dont want to, I want a nice polished brass or bronze thing!

If noone has old bits I can use I can buy new, its not mega costly.

I just had a quick look on eBay and there's some there. Search 'Bronze Dinghy Track'

If you don't see what you want there, how about a length of brass rod and brass rings?

I think I have some tins of these Sail Slide External, Brass both internal and external which have been sitting around for 30+ years, but don't have track. I'll see what size they are if you are interested.

 

[burgundyben]

Yes please, the size of an internal ones you have might be of interest.
