RE: running rigging

Don, did you get end caps with the boom? Do you have a slider with it for mast attachment? What is the diameter of the holes in mast spreader brackets? Might be good for you to post some photos of what you presently have to better guide those giving advice.

Did not get a rigged boom so need thoughts on placement of everything needed. Also did not get spreaders and need to obtain a source for spreaders compatible with the 2-27. I believe I have an original spar. Any photos of fully rigged boats will be very useful. Many thanks, Don Donald J Thomas Broker Associate LIV Sotheby's International Realty 101 S.

Thanks so much for the support. I am currently grinding the gooseneck fittings to "make" them compatible. Perhaps you know of a chandler that might recognize the two pieces and make a suggestion? I have both ends and will send photos. I have so many more questions than answers,..suggest maybe we take them a few at a time? Need a tiller. Anybody got a maker or model to suggest? In the meantime, just feel my gratitude for the group's being there. Hope I can reciprocate in some way in the future.

Here's what I have for spreaders. There will be two pins running through the mast ends from top to bottom as it appears right now.

Don, We recently sold our 2-27 having spent 15 years replacing, upgrading and maintaining it's many original systems, rigging, etc. In the process we replaced the spreaders and the tiller. Tiller - we found that the stock version of the Catalina 27 tiller - widely available - fit perfectly for us. Check the U-shaped bracket base measurements. A tiller cover kept our new tiller like new for years, great investment. Spreaders - we (ok, my woodworking husband!) replaced our spreaders with clear spruce, painted them white. Held up great and were still on the boat when we sold it. Good luck with your projects! Now the proud new owners of a 1976 Cal 34 III (new project boat!) - but we loved the 2-27 and it was hard to let her go. Nancy Lewis-Williams SV Jamea Vashon WA -- Nancy Lewis-Williams
