    Exclamation NEED DRAWING (WAS: Spreader Socket Broken)

    I cannot find the newsletter with the drawing of this casting. Can someone please fax it to me at (718) 797-1983?

    RigRite has several different ones that may fit/have been used by Pearson. My commander hull is #92. If someone that has confirmed bolt hole dimensions on a boat close to mine and would be kind enough to let me know, I would appreciate it.

    (It seems the yard moved La Saladita, Commander #92, and upon raising her with the crane she leaned forward and the port spreader socket disentegrated. Foreman said there was nothing that hit it, but I wonder. There was a lot of freezing and thawing this winter, and these castings are 38 years old. Time to replace both sockets, and maybe all the standing rigging.

    At least I will have to have the mast down and take the stays to a rigger for a close inspection.

    So, I followed a prior thread and found that RigRite carries these. Any other ideas? I have not located my Winter 2002 newsletter which is supposed to have a drawing of this casting, but I'll keep looking.
    Regards to all,
    David)
