Ahoy everybody!
My wife and myself just purchased a beautiful cat 30. Before we restep the mast next week, we are replacing the old wooden spreaders with new oak spreaders . No we don't want aluminum. If the old wood ones lasted that many years being an 82 model, I'm okay with that.
My QUESTION is , I traced and cut out new spreaders and used the old one as a template , but I am confused on how the rigging slides through the hole at the tip of the spreader ? Do i also cut a slit at the end of the drilled hole for the standing rigging to slide into ? Thanks everybody.
Fair winds and easy seas .
