Parts for masthead
I was given a new (old) mast to replace the cracked one that came with my project boat. The masthead is missing some parts - sheaves and ?
Below are photos - arrows in top photo point to 5/16" dia holes. I'm assuming that double sheaves about 2" od x 7/16" thick (each roller) would be inserted at the red arrows. The backstay will connect at the green arrow and the forestay at the yellow arrow. The lower photo is a comparison of the old and new mastheads. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hey, Thanks! I got some answers on another site, but so far the best source mentioned was Rig Rite. It seems a lot of people say Rig Rite can be problematic to deal with, so it is good to hear that McMaster - Carr could be a source.
It seems that I'll need a 2" OD x 7/16" THK x 5/16" ID sheave.

If by some miracle you actually get through to (and receive an order from) Rig-Rite, please post it here.
My own experience (once and once only) was extraordinarily negative--and non-fulfilling, too. I got my stuff elsewhere.

Try also www.riggingonly.com. I've had good luck with them although I didn't see the sheave size you require on their website.

If your other efforts prove fruitless - I had my 'bake -o - lite main haylard sheave (spelling?) on #346 replaced with a custom made job that was done for me by Hathaway, Reiser & Raymond - Sailmakers and Riggers in Stamford, CT 203 324-9581 www.hathaways.com
The riggers name their is Tom Anderson [rigger.shop@hathaways.com]
Anyway, the sheave was turned out of billet alum. and served me well.

Rigging supplies
I don't know about Rig-Rite, they are way to pricey for me, especially when they arethe sole supplier. A set of 24 balls and 4 wheels for a 25 year old Seaboard traveler car for $59.00 is a little excessive when I can get a new Harken CB car for $97.00. My best experience has been with Maggie at New England Yacht Rigging. The are friendly, helpful, will talk to you on the phone.They are both within a couple miles of where I live, and I don't work for either of them.

Have you got contact info for NEYR? I Googled them but they didn't show up in the first three pages. RigRite were the only ones who had a sheave in their catalog (online) that met the requirements of the masthead I've got. Not McMaster-Carr, not Mauri Pro, not West Marine, not Rigging Only, nor Jamestown.

Parts Sources
We also have a local consignment store http://www.marineconsignment.com/
that is a goldmine of used parts. They have a small amount of 'stuff'
on the web, but much more in the store/wharehouse. If you are still looking for sheaves let me know the size and I will look the next time I am there. They have a plastic bin with a good assorment in it.
NEYR replaced the sheaves on my mast exits (2) for about $25.00. That included two new sheaves and having their machine shop drill out the original SS axles, replace them, and weld them in place. It would have been a bargain at twice the price.

richfriend - where do you sail out of ? we were thinking of doing 2 nights (Sat/Sun) in Wickford this weekend (Sunday forecast = rain so we can grockle and I thought the consignment store may be a good way to while away a few rainy hours. Either way would appreciate some local input.
BTW - they also have a consignment store at Ships store & rigging at Melville in Portsmouth but that's an owner leaves it there for a 75% sale / 25% commission deal. Went in once a while ago, looked like a lot of stuff gathering cobwebs to me and not that well inventoried.

sheaves and other things
Mark, I sail out of East Greenwich, up past Wickford. The store is on Post Road (US Rt.1) just pass Smith's Castle and on the opposite side or the road heading north out of Wickford. The main street in Wickford is 1A.
The store is also consignment based, and not very well inventoried, but there is a lot of "stuff" that comes and goes. If you are looking for something in particular , they will put it in their 'wish book' and if they get it and remember to check, they will call you.
Do you have land transportation? The store is about 1.5 mi from downtown Wickford. If I can be of help let me know as I will probably take a drive down to the store on Saturday and It wouldn't be any trouble.

Thanks Richard
We are watching the storm that's forecast for Sunday, that will dictate. We were actually over in Greenwich Bay on Monday (better than working), we came through as far as Warwick point, got some nice shots of the lighthouse there, before we turned back to tack our way back down past Bristol and up under Mt Hope bridge back home again.
Heard two interesting VHF calls over the weekend that I will share :
First was on Sunday, a boater issued a MayDay (yes an actual MayDay) on 16 to the effect that a vessel was overturned in Potters cove. Remarkably everyone cleared the channell and let the CG do his thing. Soon turned out that the vessel was a jetski and there were two people floating in the water (wearing pfd's) and within 5 minutes thay had righted the craft and were on their way - no injures. Now we all kinda laughed a little but somehow I can't blame the guy for calling it in, he may not have been familiar with jetski operation and he may have glanced over and seen the upturned hull and reacted rather than taken a second to appraise the situation. Kudo to the CG for treating him proffessionally and without scorn or rebuke.
The second was on Monday when the CG issued an alert for a partly submerged vessell just north of the Rhode island yacht club (the what ?). Over the course of 90 minutes it transpired that a 52ft wooden vessel had sunk on its mooring and the dialogue between the Cranston harbormaster and the CG ensued. Only a little sheen on the water as of 4.00pm but who knows how much fuel was in the tanks and if they were empty one may be suspicious of a boat sinking on its mooring with empty fuel tanks. (I heard once that statistically more boats sink in Miami in the week following the boat show than any other week of the year !). Shortly after this exchange a RI DEM boat and a CG boat (both 20-30ft RIBs with twin 200hp+ OB's on the back) went cranking up the West passage toward Cranston, but who knows what kind of damage a boat that size could do if the fuel tanks were even half full.
Always something going on, take care out there.

Keep me posted, if you need a ride. The local term for the powerboaters from up in the RIYC neck of the bay is "the Cranston Navy". They often travel to Greenwich Bay and to Greenwich Cove to visit the very popular waterfront restaurants (Harborside, 20 Water Street, etc.) They are required to dock stern in at the Harborside and it is a worthwhile experience to watch someone used to driving a Hummer try and back his 35ft powerboat up to a dock after consuming several too many brews of his choice. I didn't get on the water til 5:00 on Monday as crew on a Cal racing in the West Bay YC Summer series. I didn't hear anything on the radio but it can be difficult to hear anything over our skipper's incessant commands to trim, ease, or otherwise make some adjustment to the sails, rig or our physical position on the boat.
I hope there wasn't too much of a spill and that the DEM has got it contained.
