Height of spreaders for H31 - 1984

[Mark Nooney]

Does anyone know the height of the spreaders off the cabin top on a 1984 H31?

I am curious if I can use an extension ladder, when I am on the hard, to get to the spreaders. I am installing lazy jacks this year and it would be great to
work on a solid platform while drilling the holes.
Thanks

I would say that a 12 ft. extension ladder that extends to 18 should do the trick. Is the boat close enough to eye ball the spreaders? Are they a third of the way up the mast? The mast is about 47 ft.(from the water line) if I remember correctly.

The Hunter 31 manual lists the mast height as 41' 5". Using the black and white line drawing of the boat side view, I estimate the height of the lower spreaders to be 15' 3" from the deck. Since you'd lilke to place a ladder on the hard, it's about 28' from the ground for a fin keel (approximately). Hope this helps.
