I had an accident with my Mac 26M, pull a boat hull( was in a lift ) with my right wires mast support and needed replace the right-spreader tube.
it was a gentle blow when I was docking with motor.
After this, the mast support wires and the forestay are weak.
Please help me to do the correction, and doing it well.
Carlos.

Justsomeguy was spot on for the replacement spreader and tips.

McGregor originally used plastic spreader tips. Replacements are metallic and will be much stronger that original plastic.

After replacing the spreader and tips if needed, be sure to obtain a Loos gauge to ensure your rig tension is adjusted properly before placing your rig under the dynamic loads seen under sail.
