Gooseneck Tack Attachments


Gooseneck Tack Brackets & Attachments
The Mainsail Tack attachment point, when not built into the boom end, is usually mounted on a Vertical Gooseneck Bolt. A variety of Gooseneck Tack Brackets for use with a Vertical Bolt are listed below. Some Tack Assemblies are available already welded to a vertical Gooseneck Bolt, and are listed below, as well.
Gooseneck Tack Assemblies with integral Reef Hooks
are listed separately.
See: Reef Hook/Tack Assemblies.

Please note: If using these items on a mast which has a vertical Gooseneck Pin, it must be replaced with a vertical Gooseneck Bolt and a Nut, as you will now have the full tension of the main halyard on it. A cotter pin is not strong enough to take this shear load. Order Gooseneck vertical Bolts separately, please specify diameter and length from under head.
