Where do I buy a new forstay? Mine has a few strands broken so it is time to re rig. Wety

Factory or dealer would have these - see Dealer information on bubble on left
I made up a forestay at West Marine in about 15 minutes....if yours hasnt broken yet you can just bring it in and match it.

I had a rig shop make mine in 5/32" vs the stock 1/8" Cost less than $40. The only issue was they used a swage eye, refusing to loop around like the stock stays, claiming this was a sub-par way of making a stay. I had them use the largest size eye but still had to drill it out to make the huge shackle pin fit through. If you want a stock one, call Bill @ MacGregor, send a check for approx $35 and they'll send it out to you.
