Jeanneau Sunrise 35 gooseneck and (france)spars in general

[keiko]

I am hoping that someone may be able to identify gooseneck and/or my boom on my new to me Sunrise. I'm also looking for general mast and information. Francespar mast, cca. 185x115 mm profile and Francespar boom, cca. 100x70 mm profile.
Where I might get bracket replacement or spare parts for now defunct Francespar in general?

Francespar are long gone but your gooseneck looks very similar to our Sparcraft gooseneck. I would probably give Eurospars in Plymouth a ring and see if they can help ( their masts use many Sparcraft parts).

+1 - Adrian at Eurospars is your man (if in UK). He can get anything from the Sparcraft catalogue (Pdf online). Sparcraft absorbed Francespar in the distance past.

We have a 1989 Francespar rig and the boom extrusions (profiles/shapes) have changed and are no longer like-for-like. Mast fittings are usually ok. Boom ends less so.

Also bear in mind a boom end (which doesn’t fit anyway!) is around €500!

Repair - e.g. aluminium welding and/or machining of new parts - is generally the way to go.

Adrian couldn't help - so I will try to machine a new one.
