[Alberg30] When to replace spreaders?

[Hansen, Richard D LTC Student]

Sunspur, #235, still has the wooden spreaders, so the recent thread begs my
question, "Any thoughts on when one should change from original wooded to
aluminum:
1. Soon as one can?  OR
2. If you have the mast down for some reason, change out then? OR
3. Wait until one or both spreaders fail?

Sail Net in Florida can make you an aluminium duplicate of your wooden ones.
They did it for me on a previous boat. I sent them the old ones.
