I snapped my spreader bar over the weekend while enjoying some 25 gusting to 30 knot winds. The bar was over 50 percent corroded by the looks of it. It is a real education considering the rigging looks to be in very good condition. Anyway, I need to find a replacement spreader bar for a 1975 E29. Used is fine.

Chuck,

If I'm not mistaken, mast/spreader profile for the E23, E25, E27, and E29 are the same. There are numerous threads about the aluminum brackets for the spreaders failing. Some persons, including me, have replaced the original spreaders and brackets with ones from Dwyer Masts in New England.

Try Ballenger SPars

Buzz Ballenger made me a very nice setup. The plates on either side covered some damage to the mast from the old cast aluminum spreaders fracturing. I had to get new spreaders but the whole thing is very solid and stable. This is on an Ericson 27.

Good luck

Doug
