deck hardware

[blizzard]

By boat, an Elite 32 1983, had an altercation with the dock. I am looking for three tapered stantion poles and one base. These are not the simple straight 1", but taper to a decreased diameter on the upper two-thirds of the pole. Since the boat was made in France, and they no longer market in the US, does anyone know where I might find replacements.

I beleive that most of the deck hardware on the Elite was made by Goiot. They manufactured a toerail/stanchion base/tapered stanchion system that was widely used on French boats. They can be found at:

They also made a lot of the gear used by Beneteau.So you might try Benteau''s parts dept as wll.
