After 30+ years, one of the ends on our Spinnaker pole has failed. Anyone know where I can purchase a used replacement part?

Dave, From the Equipment Suppliers page on the class website, check the Rigrite page for 2.5" spinnaker poles. You'll need to measure the diameter of the pole and determine the correct end fitting you have. The page I referenced is for 2.5" diameter poles. Not having the pole handy to measure, use this page to select the correct diameter, then click on the diameter to get the page with the parts for that pole. You then can scroll down to standard end fittings. I think the end fitting on the standard pole is this style. ![[Linked Image from rigrite.com]](http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/Spinnaker_Poles/_derived/2.5in_OD_Spinnaker_Poles_&_Fittings.html_txt_NF_13625X.gif)

Dave,
Not sure if you solved this problem.
I have a class aluminum pole. One end no longer trigger locks but it works. Has bridle set up. Let me know if this would be of interest.
