Cal 2 29 spreader specs

Does anybody know the length and width of Cal 2-29 spreaders? Thanks, Chris Chubb

This is not good, another Chris, and Chris C. to boot. Just kidding. Chris, which kind, aluminum or wood? I have aluminum and am going to step my mast on Wednesday and can measure before I put the rig up. I have a 1972 model, not a -2, but the rig is the same.

They are wooden. But we are thinking of replacing them with aluminum ones the next haul out.

Let me know what you find with regards to the replacement spreaders. I have the spruce wooden spreaders and have to repaint or if I keep waiting replace. When I had a Cal 20, I made my own spreaders out of SS electrical conduit after the original AL tubing broke while on a tack. I wonder if SS tubing would work on the 29?

I changed mine out earlier this year, I too have a 1972 29 like David's but as he said, same rig. I went with JSI spars in St. Pete's FL, they took in one of the old ones and made a pair to match in aluminium - I have to say they are a beautiful piece of work, it was a pleasure to put them on - cost about 450 for the pair, including having them painted in awlgrip and some blocks for a signal line. If you don't have the old ones to hand then they may have the designs for mine, PM me offline and I'll give you the details.

I used (after sanding, penetrating epoxy, let first coat dry and lightly sand smooth, then put another coat on of penetrating epoxy, and when it dries to tacky, paint with white easypoxy paint (if white is your choice) and it bonds into a beautiful smooth finish. It is four years old now and still sparkles.(on our 74 spruce spreaders). cost less than $20 and you can use both products on other products. I am thinking the rustoleum white marine paint is equally good after using it inside our cabin seat and vberth platforms. I then painted green, yellow and white snakes with open mouths and some teeth and a tongue, one on each top spreader surface afterward. you can watch the birds get close and then back off. no more bird s... on the deck and sailcovers! unless they sit on your lifelines. if you make skinny spreaders, birds will roost. I can offline you the snake pics if you go that route.Helen From: Mark Alan Stahnke (MAS Consulting) <ma… [at] cox.net> To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, July 10, 2012 11:53:15 AM Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] Re: Cal 2 29 spreader specs(Chris C) Let me know what you find with regards to the replacement spreaders.

i am not sure about removal..i did it from the bosun's chair after cutting off old boots. some riggers dont want to use boots, for rust prevention purposes. after i did them, i cut new boots to allow for drainage down the shrouds. later when in the yard and with mast down, i did artwork, but it could be done also from bosun's chair. pen epoxy like smith's is runny enough to go into almost all ends. (of course you should hang up some dripping protection for your decks and below. it doesn't really drip off your work but a brush can drip. I used disposable brush, mixed pen epoxy in tomato sauce can size, put it into larger can to catch drips) i can imagine a setup for this spreader to be removed by maybe tightening outer rigging on the side you'd remove or a halyard pulled over to make up for the shroud while loosening up the other shroud? maybe too hairy. there are only two bolts on the spreader, that part is easy. the reason we actually took the mast down on noah's kid was during this job i found hairline cracks in the lowers hardware from the shroud to the mast bracket. we heard that some old rigging in cals had actually been recalled/replaced because of failures in these parts, so one bad piece (that was found easily) made our decision to rerig it all.
