BTW, my rig failure was a clean bending failure right at the cross bolt
for the spreaders and lower shroud tang. The only reason that the upper
part of the mast stayed above the deck was the wire main and jib
halyards. This is an area with a pretty high stress riser. I cant
imagine how much more difficult it would have been to deal with if the
mast had sunk. I'm sure we would have had to cut the shrouds and sails
and let them sink. Anyone need a 2010 North Main Sail or an older UK 150
Jib? You cover shipping and they are yours.

I have to agree with Neil. The rigging is responsible for your
primary mode of propulsion, and the forces are signficant. At least
down here in Florida (Tampa area), riggers are pretty inexpensive, and
the investment is well worth it for peace of mind.

From somebody who has lost a rig. Of all of the things we spend our
money on, the rig is one where spending the money on a rigger makes
sense. It is no fun to be bobbing a mile off shore trying to collect
rigging and sails in three foot waves, afraid to engage the motor for
fear of tangling in lines or sails. Find a rigger and have him give
you advice.

Thank you for the replies.
After some research it looks like I should use double jaw toggles to
connect the eyes of the new shrouds to the eyes in the existing
shroud plates.

Yeah I kinda misinterpreted the description. The swadged end
fittings should be properly attached to a tang which could then
be through bolted to the mast.

You can’t run a bolt through the eye on the end of a shroud.
The tangs line up the direction of pull, a bolt would be
getting pulled on at an angle trying to yank the head/nut off
from one side.

It's common to have the lowers attach directly to the
spreader bracket, is it possible that the plate is part of
the bracket? . Further, a plain bolt through the mast, when
tightened, could cause the walls of the mast to bend or
collapse. There should be a compression tube inside the mast
through which the bolt goes to prevent that. On my mast the
compression tube and bolt are directly in line with the
spreaders, and the tang plate for the lowers is part of the
spreader bracket. Attaching the lowers to just a plain bolt
through the mast doesn't seem advisable.

Hurricane Irma claimed Ox, my beloved 33-1.
In its place I now have a 1979 Cal-31.
I am hoping for some sympathy-advice regarding the
standing rigging on my new boat.
Below is the as yet unanswered question I posted on the
Cal user group site:
---
Greetings,
My new-to-me 31 came with an oversized, uninstalled,
brand new set of shrouds.
The mast ends have beefy eye fittings.
The existing lowers terminate with jaws that connect to
rectangular plates (port and stbd) that are bolted
together through the mast.
I am wondering if the intent was to do away with the
plates and run the bolt directly through the four eyes
(two eyes on each side, of course). :-)
Any thoughts or ideas are most welcomed.
Cheers,
--Bob M
