<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Your help is requested finding a spring,</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">The little spring that holds the jaw closed in the spinnaker
pole tip has broken. The pole is only 29 years old, so I cannot believe
this has already happened. </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">The pole looks like a Forespar product and I am assuming it
was original with the Capri 25. It is the kind of pole tip that just
snaps into the mast ring.</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Does anyone have experience finding/replacing this
spring. I have attached a picture (thanks Brad). We are now looking at
hobby shops in an effort to find a replacement.</p>
