Spreaders

[frogdoc58]

I need to replace my spreader boots on my 34 Catalina.  Does anyone know the width of the spreaders at their ends where the boots go?  I only want to make one trip up the mast instead of two.  Up to measure, then up again to install.

Thanks in advance.

I went "old school" with leather. Always works!

Paul,

I can't help with spreader measurement, but I used the large size spreader boots from Taylor Made last month.

Good luck,

Paul : Use some light nylon line to whip around the ends.  Then use some liquid "Rope Whip" to seal the nylon line's knot and cut ends.

Replaced mine last month with the large size from West Marine. (the largest ones they have.

Here's an alternative I have used on large dia spreaders.
