Spreaders

[jorgefife]

I am desperately looking for a set of aluminium spreaders for a Hunter 33, 1982
About 44 inches in length, or longer
Can anyone help, even if it is a different boat?

are you replacing old ones or adding new ones ?
i replaced mine with anodized aluminum tubing from my metal supplyer was easy to do

 

[jorgefife]

I bought the boat after Ike, and it had no spreaders, so I have nothing to go by
Used, in good shape spreasders, will be just fine.
What kind of tubing, and thickness?
Do you have the right size?
Do you also have a Hunter?

Have you tried calling the Hunter Sailboat people? (factory)

Try http://www.rigrite.com

My experience with Rig-Rite has been miserable. Unless you're buying the whole rig or you know your exact part number, they're pretty darned useless.

Yes, but they have a lot of stuff you simply can't get anywhere else. I've had better luck with them than many but they can be frustrating. Just hound them. You can find the part numbers for most things on their web site although it isn't very well organized.

Man I hate having to hound someone so I can give them money.
