Looking for Fairlead, 1990s Beneteau first 32

[fastbikes1]

Hello everyone ...
We managed to break our port stern fairlead on our first 32s5 1989.
Does anyone know of new old stock dealers or a recycler that may have one or two as I also have a friend who broke one on he's 40 first.
These are the same parts and incorporate the toe rail and mould over the side of the boat.
Any leads apreciated
Regards Paul

Hi Paul

Have you tried Seascrew (www.seascrew.com), they're usually good for hard to find deck fittings etc.

Cheers!

Try a beneteau dealership like Foxs in Ipswich. They were able to source parts for our 38s5.

Thank you foxes can source it from France.
It's looking to be £160.
I was hoping to find new old stock or a first being broken.
But I will admit I'm impressed foxes and Beneteau can supply a part for a 30yr old boat.

I asked Beneteau for the same part but a month ago and they said no hope. I'll be calling Fox's in the morning!

Ask for pictures first as there seems to be two diffrent types.
Speak to Robert.campbell-gray as the other Robert was quite rude and too busy to give me the time of day. (New boats to sell at the boatshow)

He was probably quite busy at the boat show. In the office I found them both very helpful and knowledgeable. There was also another fellow named Dave, but I think he moved to other duties.

Yes but too busy to give me the time of day and rude as well.
They represent Beneteau.
I was buying two as a friend needs the starboard side.
It's over £300 and an important item not a clevis pin.
No excuse.

Sorry for your experience. Mine was so different.

I am considering getting some cast in bronze if anyone is interested?

I got John Mills, (Olive Rd, Hove) to fabricate some in stainless which he grtitblasted to match the old alloy ones. Very pleased and inexpensive.
Top one is his, bottom Beneteau's

Try Plastimo catalogue. Seriously. I got a new cleat for a 1988 Beneteau from them. Not promising but worth a try.

If you're on Fakepoo, search for Harbour Shoppers. They bought and stripped many hurricane damaged boats over the years, so may well have such a piece.
