[alberg30] Spreaders & Halyard Sheaves (shivs?)

[David Swanson]

From: David Swanson <zira at mindspring.com>

Hello -

My boat came with aluminum spreaders with wood bases - obviously a
homemade set up.  I made new ones of tubular aluminum & aluminum bases,
which work ok but are angled about 2 degrees forward.  I was planning to
make a new set, and was able to pick up someairfoil ones from a Catalina
30 for $10.  All of which is a round about way of asking if anyone else
has had any aluminum ones made lately, and if so, who did it & what was
the cost?

To you guys who switched to rope main halyards by re-machining the
pully, what size line do you use?  What is the inner diameter of the
pulley now?  Does the halyaerd rub on the forward or rear edges of the
mast?

Thanks.
