Aluminum spreaders

[Bernie Blomquist]

I have a 1976 Catalina 30, standard rig that needs new spreaders due to rot and I don't feel like making new wooden ones but would prefer to find aluminum replacements that will fit the existing mounting hardware, if possible. There are aluminum brackets welded onto the mast that don't allow me to use any of the replacement spreaders I have found to date. Does anyone have a source for me?

You can get them from JSI that will fit the existing mounts. My understanding is that Catalina's replacements require replacing the mounts which is best done with the mast off the boat.Here's the link.
