1974 Bristol 27

[sailmoore]

Need help deciding what hardware/fasteners I need to reinstall my mast and sail. Basically starting from scratch. Total rookie. And when the boat was transported via I-95, that person didn't secure any hardware so most fasteners were lost. So I don't know where to begin. If anyone knows what type I need, I'd appreciate the help. I intend to go to West Marine. I don't know any other sailboat resource. I'm in NC. Not a big sailing community.

First bit of advice, if you're looking to save money: buy from online retailers like https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/ or https://www.defender.com/

If need be, go to WestMarine to figure out what you need, then go online to purchase.
