That makes sense. Thanks

Drill holes through the spreader and base when they are properly aligned to
acommodate the next size up pin.

I have a similar issue this year on my C&C 29-2: under sail,
the spreader ti= on the leeward side moves fore and aft several inches. My
rigger took a l=ok.
The spreader goes over the spreader base at the mast,
and is pinned to the b=se with a clevis pin. The hole in the spreader has
elongated, which allow= the spreader to work back and forth slightly on the
base, which translates=to a wider range of motion at the tip of the spreader.
The motion occurs o=ly when that side is leeward. When loaded on the windward
side, there is n= motion. In my case, the rigger (a very reputable guy)
advised
it is not d=ngerous. But it is annoying.
This is a long term wear issue
that I just noticed this year. I think it ha= been doing it for a while, but
this is the first time I sailed with jib on=y, so I was able to see it. With
the main up it is not obvious.
Would appreciate any ideas to repair the
spreader to eliminate the elongatio= in the hole.
