Seals Spars, Alameda - Sprdr Base source?

[ebb]

'Lo Kurt.
Spreader bases on 338 are smudged with black epoxy stuff that is ugly and maybe covering up something bad. So when I was down to Watsonville at Ballengers I had a look at the foil shaped spreaders he had. So now I have some spiffy wings to mount on the mast instead of conduit. Rather than klunky cups, the spreaders mount to a slender form fitting insert that goes thru the mast, so that the pressure is equalized between them.

Might get .001 more knots from the more aerodynamic shape of the spreaders. Don't think the Boss would mind too much, it's the other things being done to 338 that traditionalistas will tell him about.
