HI, I popped the fore stay on my Lockley Surprise (oops!). And I am trying to find a suitable replacement. I have tried the 420 shroud but it is a bit too short. Anyone got any leads or spare parts for a 15’ sailboat fractional slope? Or maybe the J15 fore stay would fit???
Much appreciated in advance!

If you take your broken forestay to West Marine or a rigger they can make up a replacement for you that will be the right length AND the right diameter (for strength). The forestay for a Flying Junior – similar to your boat- is listed at WM for $35. Scavanging from another design may not be safe.
