Minnies is in Newport Beach and a great store but it will be a real longshot to find your mast step. It is however a fairly easy fabrication for an aluminum welder to make. You need a TIG welder and there is likely one in Morro Bay or nearby. Good luck

The cheapest and easiest way to lengthen them if they are swaged is to add a second toggle (swivel) to them.
Does anyone know what the pintles on the rudder look like on the inside and how they are attached/removed from the rudder?
Thanks. Joe
I don't know the hull number but its a 1984, so a relatively new one. It is sad to see.

I'm in the San Diego area but get to San Francisco on occasion. If I can't find a closer boat I would sure like to take you up on your kind offer when I can get up there. Thanks. Joe
Are there any boats in California that an owner would be willing to let me see? Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback. I have the Folkboat book and it indicates that the Contessa has around 4" more beam but not much difference in LOA or draft. It says it is quite a bit heavier, around 700# which is a sizeable increase and speaks of extra room. Do I understand that it has about a foot more headroom? From 4.5' to 5.5' or thereabouts?
I have not yet seen a Contessa in the flesh so I am trying to visualize what it's like.
I agree that a posting of the statistics would be a nice addition if anyone has them available to a already very nice and informative web site.
Can anyone inform me of the differences in freeboard and interior height between the Contessa, Marieholm Folkboat and Marieholm 26. I understand that the others have been slightly enlarged from the original Folkboat, with the Contessa being the largest. Thanks for your help.
