Mast Boot ? What size for the H37c

[Rovic]

Does anyone know what the correct part from RigRite is for a regular mast boot for a H37c, on their site the one I assume is correct is: 5280 Mast Boot - Special for Hunter 37: K-5280B-H37. ( Cherubini or later model H37 )
But there are 2 others for the 5280 mast. i.e. Mast Boot for 5280 Standard Deck Collar: K-11260BS: and Mast Boot for 5280 Low-Profile Deck Collar: K-10926BLP:
As these are of considerable dimensional differences I'm hoping someone here has the definitive answer.

Forgot question mark

Sorry, there should have been a ??? here ( Cherubini or later model H37 Legend...???) RigRite is not specific about which H37's Mast this will fit. It may be that the later model did not have a Kenyon Spar.

I have called them and they are very helpful. I have heard that no one answer the phone, but I have not found that to be the case.

I suspect that the K-5280B-H37 is the correct one since it says that there is only one hose clamp used (on the mast end). This makes sense, as there is really no way to attach a boot to the stock mast collar on the H37C. I had a half inch lip welded to the outside of my mast collar and made my own mast boot following the pattern that Hervey Garrett Smith gives in his book "The Marlinspike Sailor"

Are you still in NS? Maybe we could meet the next time I sail down LaHave way...

Hi Jim,
Yes, until November. If you get down this way, drop your hook in Ritcey's Cove, first bay to Starboard as you enter the mouth of the LaHave. Head for the 3 story Blue house, there is a wharf just to the left of the house where you can tie your dinghy (tide willing) come ashore for a rum runners complementary drink. 902-7660125
