Forestay replacement

I have an old wooden solo no. 3810 and the forestay has snapped. The mast is a needlespar. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Many thanks in advance

from your comment can we assume you only need a new forestay, or is the mast now not useable. If its the former, P&B in Northampton would be able to help they offer a fast delivery usually, measure the old forestay, and let them know the fittings on the mast, and bow. Pics are always useful.

Sheave for main halyard

Hello there I have an old grp solo (2318) the sheave at the bottom of the mast has completely separated so just pulling on the pin at the moment, the pin appears to have been hammered in place, I will need to hammer it out, do you know what that pin is called or. How to get a replacement? I can get a new sheave off P&B but they don’t seem to list anything that resembles the pin

I found the issue, it wasn't obvious, but i needed to complete some missing info, which was the emergency contact, it then let me leave it blank.. a bit cryptic, but fine in the end. I am now paid up a and looking forward to it.. Fingers cross for good conditions.

Thanks
