Hudds Lad Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Looking for a spare part for a cratch, long story short we came across one of those gates that wouldn’t fully open and as we gently nudged in a cratch fitting was the part of the boat that touched and of course promptly pinged off and into the murky depths. Sods law. Thing is i have no idea what term to search for, I've tried googling obvious names and scouring various chandlery websites but no joy. Its basically a sort of black plastic clip/jaw that tightens onto the fabric rather than piercing it with a loop of elastic cord with a ball on that then hooks over a fitting attached to the hull. Sadly i have no pic at the moment, just thought somebody might have similar and know what they’re called so i could get a couple before we go back to the boat.
