[Public-List] RE Sail Track Fastening - aluminum air foil spreaders

[John Birch]

Hi Gord

I had Danny Klacko make up some beautiful air foil spreaders for our A-37, 
just like the wood ones and put the base on a solid aluminum block so there 
was no need to change the existing bases on the mast. The A-37s in 1970 had 
the same style as the older A-30s, just a bit bigger

The price then was $300 in 1995.

The quality of the work superb. And they look like the originals.

Klacko Spars 3rd Line, Oakville Ontario (Bronte actually)

Best

John
