It's highly unlikely that these are OEM Supercat parts but... But just in case they are and anyone has a line on small parts for them any help would be appreciated. I was out in 10kts yesterday and the swivel that the shackle attaches to parted company with the block. Of course it had to be the block w/the cam on it just so that any replacement is going to be extra $$!
I can't figure out who the manufacturer is - it looks like 'APM' but Google isn't returning ANY hits for that name.

Rex,
Sorry but I don't recognize that manufacturer, but the style of construction is very similar to Harken so you might want to look at what they might have to offer.

Thanks for the response Matt.
What kind of load bearing do you recommend for the old SC17 sail? I really don't want to spend Harken money on a replacement if at all possible so I've been looking at the http://garhauermarine.com/catalog_process.cfm?cid=92 Garhauer 30-28 as a substitute. They claim a safe working load of 2,400lbs.

Rex,
On the 17' we would normally use a Harken Low-Profile triple, which is part of their 2.25" diameter products. I think the SWL is something like 1500 lbs, so I think the block your looking at might be a bit big.
I will say that you get what you pay for with Harken & Ronstan versus the other manufacturers like Garhauer, etc. Just something to think about.
