Extended Gooseneck consensus

Postby DanaChurch » Mon Aug 14, 2023 6:34 pm

Hello All,

Having bent my mast I have to replace it.

Having heard about an extended gooseneck I was wondering if there is any positive consensus for adopting it.

Or has Hartleys chosen to include the extended gooseneck on all new masts as standard?

Thanks,
Dana Church

Hi Dana,

I believe the so-called 'heavy-duty gooseneck' is a £50 option. I've only sailed with it, so can't compare with the 'standard' one, but I've been told the sail sets better with the 'heavy-duty' one. I would certainly prefer Hartley offer it as standard rather than an option.

See you at Grafham!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your informed opinion.

I very much hope I can get a new mast before Grafham.

Fingers crossed,
Dana
