Is anyone still reading this thread? I bought a 1987 Snowgoose Elite this morning (my 8th. multihull over 30+ years) I need new spreaders - anyone know where I can get them? Also, directions on lowering the mast forward?

Thanks

Jon

My snow Goose has Z-Spar mast & boom, I'd guess going there might be a place to start. Good luck

Was that the one for sale in Brisbane by any chance?

Yes, that's the one. Sadly neglected, but she seems sound. Do you know her? Jon

Only in that we took a look at her too, but decided she wasn't the one for us. Glad to see someone buy her, she seemed very lonely and looking for a good crew! Our sense was the same, looked to be a sound and well built boat, despite being neglected, especially the past year or so as she sat unused and uncared for. I know you've got some projects ahead of you on her, best of luck!

This is a different address from the previous one.
Tony used to be the chairman of the association and very knowledgable about anything Prout.

Hope this helps.

Catmariner. Hope the mast lowering has been achieved by now. I'd love to hear how it went. Brother built his up in Quatar years ago including stepping the mast for the first time. Having sorted crane and hands it turned out very straight forward, almost a one man job. How did it go for you?
Buying an Event 34 soon as house sale goes through, I'll need to know soon.
