I have replaced the four stanchions from the 27 with newer taller versions. If anyone needs replacement stanchions I will give them to you with the shipping paid by you. Two of the stanchions are tapered two are not, one of the stanchions has a slight bend right at deck level, but I think it may be able to be straightened. Let me know if you have interest in the set. I would assume that shipping would be about $20.00 UPS GROUND. Or we can make arrangements for delivery of the set when we are up in the Bay Area for a regatta. [email protected]
