[Tom Hogarty]

Thanks, Art, here is a picture of parts of the two "cars" on the lower mast. 
I can see the indentation where the collar of the boom pin latch  fit.  How
do I obtain and replace the pin?  Does the mast need to be lowered?
I did not find the archives helpful.
Many Thanks,
Tom http://www.nabble.com/file/p18477261/IMG_0657.jpeg
