Spreader boots

[stepayetta]

I am having to replace my spreader boots. Does anyone have a recommendation as to best type for the Capri 18. Thank you!

Take what you have to your local chandlery and they will probably have a replacement set for $30-40. SC

I use the West Marine boots that Stu suggests (above). I put plastic tie-wraps at all three openings and they work just fine.

On an Capri 18 where the mast comes down a lot plastic wire ties will work. But keep in mind that those ties are not UV resistant as a good seizing line would be. On my Cat 25 the line lasted twenty years. The plastic ties might get you two years.
