Congratulations on new boat.
I am going through exactly the same exercise in purchasing Staunchions, bases ,cable,hooks,bolts ,backing plates sealant and on it goes for a Sonata 6 I have just purchased. I am also in Brisbane and after searching the internet gumtree, ebay etc. I believe Whitworths are about as cheap as you will get for new, especially allowing for postage, if you avoid the Ronstan product. See page 132 of their current catalogue .For the cable I am using rigging ss wire not the covered stuff.
I am going ahead in purchasing the appropriate gear but am in two minds if I can do the job properly
regarding properly sealing . There is heaps of info on installation and the pitfalls on various sites . A must read before you undertake. I was lucky to source 4 new staunchions at $60 discount but that's all.

if I were you , I would use the stock whitworths bases and stanchions . then use high strength rope for the cable

Congrats on the new boat, I agree with S and S. I used stanchions from whitworths and they were fine but I replaced the wire I got from Whitworths because it started to fray and got rigger to supply better quality wire with attachments which worked well.

They supplied the whole need for a 28 with lifelines top and bottom 5 and 4mm complete with pelican clips and all for about $250

Hi Guys,
The "Port side" Backstay Tensioner/Adjuster has been lost in transit.
Whitworths and I did some research. No dice. There is a yacht engraved/stamped to unit (Riley?).
If any one has any idea where to purchase a new one, I would love to know. Or is it better just to replace the both of them?
Cheers
