All right, who bought up all the C30 masthead castings at Catalina Direct?
I'm 10 days from launching our C30. While installing a new masthead light today I found a crack in the masthead casting. Its located where a failure will drop the aft stay.
Immediately called CD and was told they did have 4 on the shelf but they all sold in the past couple of weeks. They have more being cast but expect it to be 4 weeks before they are finished, anodized and ready to be shipped. That will push out my launch date to 5 weeks or so. Ouch.
I know, s**t happens. I'm just a bit excited and now impatient to get to use our "new to us" C30 for the first time.
So, I put one on order but hoping maybe it can be repaired for this season. Then I will change it out next spring.
I called a good machine shop who does a lot of work for the company I worked for pre retirement and I sent them the below photos.
They have a couple of ideas so I'll be pulling it tomorrow and seeing what they can do with it.
PS: Anyone happen to have a spare laying around?
Thanks
