Hello all!
My current catalina 25 mast has a dent just below where the starboard upper shroud connects. I have sailed in heavy wind consistently for 2 summers but would still like a rig I am more confident in.
I have acquired a cat 27 mast from my boatyard and my plan was to cut the bottom of the mast to the same height as my stock cat 25 mast. I have no yet taken specific measurements of either mast, but would it be at all likely that I will be able to use my current cat-25 rigging (which is in good condition) and use it with the cat-27 mast once it is cut to the same height?
Is it safe to assume that the spreader height/width, etc is different than my current mast and therefore make using the same standing rigging not a possibility?
Any advice or ideas on this would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
