I had the two port side spreaders on our J27 show small cracks on trailing edge. This was a result of leaving them attached to mast in the winter with the mast down (lesson learned). We took them to a local welder who does aluminum welding and he fixed them. Cost was reasonable and the repair looked very good. Was much cheaper than obtaining replacements at over $200 each from Hall spars.

Any other advantages of weld repair vs replacement. I would also like to do this job without removing the mast. I would think that one spreader could be replaced at a time while using two halyards to support the mast in addition to the shrouds on the opposite side. Any experience doing this?
