Hi Robert, and welcome to the

Hi Robert, and welcome to the MOA!

Leigh's link to BW Yachts will get you loads of specialised parts. However, many of the fittings on a Mac are standard rigging stuff. You can get new shrouds made up by any rigging shop, provided you've got the originals. This will save you having to buy new end fittings as the rigger will attach the existing fittings while terminating the new shroud. The new ones will be made up to match the length of the originals.

If your standing rigging is old and/or worn, seriously consider replacing the forestay as well, it's the weakest link on a Mac. I'd actually recommend increasing the diameter by 1mm from the original, especially if you have a CDI furler. (The original is actually 1/8", which is 3.2mm, so best to replace with 4mm, not 3mm.)

Yes I’d recommend getting your rigging made up locally. The American stuff is very light and just crimped. Get seated stuff made locally.
