I'm sorry to have upset you but the parts to repair are not as easy in an old ship as it is on a newer ship. My husband is wtith a major manufacturer of parts and he said when this first happened that there was no way she would sail again in less than a year and from what he knows on the manufacturers end that the expense to reproduce these outdated parts may well prohibit them from even doing it. It is one thing to replace a newer part that is already in the parts inventory and another thing to reproduce a 1969 part. I certainly hope she sails again but it does not look promising.
