Historical Arts & Castings has an ad in the July/August editon of Good Old Boat on page 73. General info, nothing specific.
Interestingly, the ad headline is "Rostand Custom Grade Marine Hardware" and there are two logos at the bottom of the ad. One for Historical Arts & Castings and the other for IYRS, the marine college that was originally negotiating with Herrington for the patterns.

I am looking at page 71 of the 2006 July/Aug edition of GOB. The only ad I see is by Hamilton Marine. Is that the one?
I am currently boatless, but my father in law has a Triton and he always needs something for his boat...
No -- it's on page 73Originally Posted by coffmanb
I'll edit my earlier post . . .
I'm wondering if some of the hardware from the Ensign boats could be used by us.
The parts list is here
http://www.ensignspars.com/parts
The drawing on pg. 150 of the Manual says that the Ensign used the same boom as us.
A complete gooseneck assembly is only $89
The large Electra ports look like the ones on the Commander ($95 with glass)
They also have a tiller head and stem head that might be the same.
Might even be a source for a whole new boom if they can make you one a bit longer
They have pictures of some of the parts in this movie. Takes forever to download

The leading edge of the stem fitting is shorter than ours by about 2 inches. could be made to work with a bit o' glass work.
The tiller fitting is something I'll be looking into. Mine's seen better days.
I've see the large electra windows up close in club races. they look spot on to fit the commander.
