I was going to have Port Townsend Foundry make me one but I found mine under some Katrina debris after we moved Gypsy Mariner back into the water. They e-mailed me the sketch of one they made for someone before and it was close to what the Mariners have. I did have them make me a bow sprit socket with sampson post. Their website is http://www.porttownsendfoundry.com .
