I posted this on cruisers forum and haven't had much luck. Does anyone know who make the spars on a CAL 35? I am thinking maybe they would know who makes the boot.
"I have a CAL 35 and I am wondering about replacement parts for my mast boot. Maybe someone can help me id it. It is a five part boot. 4 of the parts are aluminum. There are 2 gaskets one of which lives above and one below deck. They each have eight bolt holes that through bolt through the deck. The other two aluminum pieces could be described as tangs that bolt onto the gaskets and then through bolt through the mast to keep it vertically and horizontally in place.
Here is the clincher, the 5th piece of this puzzle has worn out. It is the rubber seal that sits between the upper gasket and the deck and keeps the water out. It has become so degraded by UV etc that it is essentially useless and lets water come poring in when it rains.
Does this ring a bell to anyone? Can you help me ID this hardware?
My next step is the chuck the whole thing and just fill in the thru bolt holes with epoxy and use spar-tite"
