Post subject:  Hobie 18 Beams (akas) - port side

Am looking for starboard beam ends, if undamaged, as noted. I just realized I had posted I was looking for port side but my dyslexia was on...it is the starboard I need, but would take both beams and go from there. The for and aft cross-sections are not the same...

Or, if someone knows the mast maker which forms these things, I would appreciate that information too. Thanks.

What part, exactly, are you looking for? The end casting?

I may have one. Send me a PM.

The "mast maker" is Hobie Cat Co. They contract with an aluminum foundry to make the castings.

I suppose you could track down the foundry, but unless you're willing to buy industrial quantities, they're not likely to talk to you for very long.

Besides, the parts' design is proprietary, so they wouldn't make them for anybody but Hobie Cat anyway.
