Converting Supercat mast
Posted: October 11th, 2011, 8:47 am
I have a slight bow to my SC 15 mast and I can get my hands on a SC19 mast to convert.
Since the 19 mast has the spreaders, I would like to keep them and add them to the 15 formula, so my question is: What measurements would the factory suggest using as far as where to mount the tangs for the diamond wires? I plan on adding a spinnaker and/or a crazy screacher, so the spreader and diamonds would help.
Now, before everyone jumps on me for adding something that may not be needed, I'm only interested in this because I'm getting a 19 mast that already has the spreaders. I don't want too many extra holes in the mast and I would just like to give it a try. I would really like to get a 15 mast or even a 17 mast, but I have to go with what I can get.
One more thing--I am getting a carbon F18HT mast that I would like to cut down to fit and it has spreaders, too.
