anyone know any good resources for replacement ball and / or base (or have spares)

specifically Mystere setup (ball has hole for pin, base has "ears" to receive pin

but Tornado setups can be used/ modified

maybe other as well?

PS I have contacted Yannick at mysterecomposites.com - looking for other options

Andrew, are you desperate for a part?
I have the original ball from the 6.0XL. It appear to thread onto the DS rod, & looks like a pin stuck up from the top. The pin is broken off on this ball.
The PO changed the ball to a different system. They machined a "ball", it looks more like a modified hourglass.
I can send you the original as a loaner if you need something to keep sailing.
I can also make some inquiries towards these parts. There are a few at Turkey Pt on Lake Erie, & another fleet at Magog, Quebec.

OK. I'll keep an eye out for any that show up in this part of the world. Send me a PM re what they are worth, or what the factory wants...I don't have much experience with this brand.
