It would be great to get a specification and method on building carbon fiber spreaders. Will carbon hold up year after year in the Sun? Does anyone have a source for the material prelaminated in sheets of different sizes and thickness? Then we could simply cutout the desired part/shapes and machine to fit.

Hi, Alan. My understanding is that working with CF is more complex than that. The orientation of the weave and the bonding must be done just so to put the strength in the right orientation.

What a timely post! Beth and I need new spreaders as well. When we took the mast down, the spreaders literally crumbled in our hands. She's been soaking in the tropics for a long time. It's a good thing we elected to truck our girl up to Pensacola instead of sailing her. She has other "issues" as well :-( Anyway, I was told by Tom and Bobbi Vandiver that since I need to replace them, to do it with aluminum. Pricey, yes, but worth the peace of mind. They had spreader problems before and replaced wood for wood. The replacement lasted about 5 years. Their "new" aluminum spreaders have been on the boat for about the last 12 years as well as I can guess. Coincidentally, I talked with Don Gober back at Lake Mead yesterday, and he suggested the same spreader shop. Mike and Beth Celtic Naut Cal 40 #44 At the Redneck Riviera! :-)

Ok, ok...... if'in all you folks want to talk *serious spreader's*.... fiver will bite! just as i had thought to go one-size down from my mast to arrive at a stout boom for BB-54...... i will most probably go two size's down to arrive at a nice stout par of aerodynamic spreaders...... ie; the cal-20 mast-section........

Fiver---I guess I'm just getting nervous about all this talk about blinging up the spreaders. Makes me wonder what mine look like.
