Hello, I'm the new owner of Mdina, a '94 28TE that was modified for length by shortening the bow sprit. I'm looking for a source to replace the modified one with something more like the original. Is there someone out there who may be building these parts, or should I look to a local fiberglass fabricator. Alternatively, has anyone gone custom with stainless or aluminum fabrication? If so, I'd like to see how it was done.
Thanks, Greg

Re: Bow sprit Replacement
Wow.
Never heard of anybody replacing the bow sprit on an Albin 28TE.
( The anchor platform, OR the bow rail?)
“ bowsprit – An extension (in our case a big, solid piece of teak) that is bolted to the deck at the bow and extends out, over the water. It's secured by the bobstay and two whiskerstays. The purpose of a bowsprit is to increase the amount of sail area”
