I was wondering about the holes and if the spreader had been repurposed.


Regarding Spreader design and placement I read a article from This Old Boat?

or Practical Sailor ?which cautioned about spreaders being the most common point of mast failure, It cautions that the shroud angle above and below the
spreader be equal to avoid a mast failure. It also cautioned that spreader design is not be be taken lightly . If I can find the article again I will post the location. I think I googled "spreaders design / failure or something similar

Regards and thanks
