Anyone happen to know the size bail for the 23/3 boom and/or mast along with a good source for them? I have a boom vang I want to be able to use on the 23.
Thanks,
Shawn
Best guess is the smallest sold at West Marine. That is the size I used on my CP-19 and that was too big. I had to cut it down to fit and mount, and I needed to bang it into shape by closing it up a bit and plus use it on an angle for maximum hole use. I riveted it on the STEEL rivets to the boom for a boom vang attachment area. Don't have any on the mast.. If you look at my specifications for Comfort & Joy the boom and mast are list x long, x wide, oval. skip.
Shawn,
Go to "www.dwyermast.com" and check throught their hardware sectin. You can call them to get a recommendation. They are the original hardware suppliers for Com-Pac.

The boom is 1 3/4". Not sure on the mast. You can find a boom bail on www.defender.com.
Thanks to all.

I concur with Defender being a good source. I purchased a bail from them when I installed a boom vang on my 23 a couple of years ago. The closest size was just a smidgen too wide but since I ran a bolt clear through the boom to attach the bail I was able to just draw it in tight using the nut and a couple of wrenches. It has worked fine.
