I refined the design of a new extended Catalina 310 spinnaker Crane I showed in a post last Feb 2019. See atch pics. In first pic it shows a joint in middle. It is one piece. I had to cut it in half to fit 3D printer.
New crane slides over top front of masthead and installs in place of existing bail crane using same four screws and also reuses forestay pin through side of crane. Reuse the existing small SS bail by installing it at top end of the new crane using four screws.
New crane will be made out of 1/8" 316L Stainless Steel. I have found a local welder/fabricator who can make new crane for $750 for first three. $150 for SS bar material and $600 for labor. That's $250 each for first three. Labor includes setup so if more were made, per piece labor cost goes down.
If anyone is interested in one, let me know.
