Yes yet another question for you all.
I have a
Catalina 30 with wooden spreaders. They appear to be in good shape from the bottom but you never know whats happening on top till you make the climb. They look like they could use some
paint so there might be some issues as yet unknown.
Question is what do you all think of just ordering a new set of
aluminum replacements? I know they don't come
cheap but with the cost at around $500 it seems like
cheap insurance. I'm thinking I can replace them without stepping the
mast. Can't I just secure the halyards on the side I'm replacing and after I'm done replacing one and setting the
shroud tension move the halyards to the other side and replace the other one?
Thank you all for your help with all my questions.
