Hi all,

Has anyone replaced their turnbuckles lately and knows the precise size to order? My turnbuckles are original and the male piece (pin with threads) is 3/8 in. I'm certain a turnbuckle made to fit 3/8 pin and 1/4 in wire (my shrouds) is correct but I'm confused about thread count. Is threading universal for a 3/8 in turnbuckle ? Lastly are original turnbuckles chromed bronze? I am getting new turnbuckle bodies only, and don't want to have some strange metal reaction by getting the wrong material ....

I just brought my boat down from the Champlain canal and am in the mid Hudson River waiting for my mast to be stepped. Need new turnbuckles before continuing on south. Any timely information most appreciated thank you !!!!!!!
