Pram / Spray hood fixings

[Balbas]

My new (to me) boat has come with a sprayhood / pramhood. The standard blue fold down canvas jobbie with windows that sits on a metal frame above the companionway As seen on almost every other yacht ever.

The trouble is it was taken off for storage by the previous owner and now that it's been put back it has no fittings. I would be very grateful if someone could either post a picture of how their hood frame attaches to the deck - or point me towards somewhere that sells the fittings so that I can work out what I need?

Many thanks in advance.

So many variations, you'd need to give some details of your boat and some pics of what fittings are on the boat would be helpful.

As Paul says lots of different spray hood fittings

Plenty of suppliers once you identify the fittings you need.

It seems odd that all the deck fittings have been removed. Are you sure they are not all stowed safely in a box on board somewhere?

Thanks all, I'm at the boat tomorrow so I'll measure the tubes and photograph the fixings and then use the links to try to work out what I need.

Maybe the hood has a makers patch on it and if so will have a record of your hood etc if still in business which might assist. If not search for hood makers in your locality who might provide good advice on your requirements.
