funlovincriminal 28 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I collected the rig on the weekend, it's deck stepped and uses a base with a pin aft to help step the mast like a trailer sailer rig. Sorting through the boxes of junk I have found the broken remnants of the original base, and have taken measurements off it in the hopes of finding a replacement. Whereabouts could I lay my hands on one of these cast aluminium beasts at short notice? Rather not have to get something made if I can help it. Also, going to need a pair of lower spreaders, to suit 28 degree sweep approx 1000mm long suitable for wire rigging. The spreader root is a basic slot with two through bolts. Thanks for any help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ketchup Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I would send that picture, with dimensions, to all the Alloy extrusion manufacturers and see if they have a extrusion that shape or close (internal dimensions) that you can cut from a box section or similar.

Marshy 17 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Give Bart at NZ Rigging a call, looks like the standard Fosters base most trailer trash i mean yachts used. He bought Fosters and has most of the castings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 875 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 What size is the mast section? I have a alloy base, one of the tabernacle ones so has integrated halyard outlets. I think it's for a 90-100mm there abouts sized round section, I'll check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 28 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's tiny, around 85mm round section with the main track riveted on. It's 500mm shorter in the hoist than a standard 830 one too... so I am steeling myself for the ridiculing and name calling. Shapeshifter may well become "Stumpshifter" I guess it's because she originally ran a ballasted centerboard and would have been too frightening with the full monty...

KM... 875 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Here's what I have. Looks to be for a section around 75mm ID. Could be machined down a smidgen or packed out a bit as well. So thinking a ID in the range of 70-80mm there abouts. No that's not dust, it's very very tiny pieces of a R930. I have a whole shed full if anyone really loves jigsaws And it pivots on that 10mm SS pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
