I have a Offshore 33 Kat Ketch with free standing masts. The PO installed the Hood Sto-boom overpriced sail cover in boom sail furling system.

I had the sails repaired andf hoisted the main only to find it 4-5' shorter than the mast. It is not cost effective to replace the boom furlers and sails so I am looking to back-fit to tjhe original wishbone rig or install boom with a sail pac.\

Does anyone have a source for wishbooms?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I also have an Offshore 33 Cat Ketch. Owned it since 1987. Did you find a fabricator for the Wishbone Booms? I have a drawing of the rig dimensions from the manufacturer if that is still needed. I would recommend contacting MACK sails in Florida. I purchased a MackPack from them for a Baba 40 I lived on for a while and they did a great job. I discussed with them doing a similar setup on the Offshore 33 working with lazy jacks. David Ready

Hm likely custom. If you can't find info form the Offshore owners, ask NonSuch owners or Wylie Cat owners they have similar rigs. Also a guy named Eric Sponberg NA is kind of an advocate for this kind of rig he might be able to help you.
