I have a reaching strut out in the pole barn from my old Redwing 35 (C&C
35-1). It breaks down into three pieces. Anyone that is willing to pay
shipping cost, it's yours.

Different topic for the collective wisdom of the group. The
reaching strut that came with my boat did not match up with the deck
mounts, both in terms of the end fittings and pole length. I bought
replacement deck mount fittings and was going to mount them closer
together, but decided to study the issue to try to figure out why a
prior owner shortened the strut (and whether a longer strut is
necessary). We concluded this past summer that: a) the extra foot or
so of length will definitely help protect the aft stanchions much
better; and b) the prior owner probably broke the original strut and
decided to rebuild it using the undamaged portion (or obtained a
replacement strut from someone else).
The tubing is 3 1/2”. I am only aware of Forespar selling this
type/size tubing. I need about 6 1/2’ of tubing, but the shortest
length Forespar sells is 12 feet, which is expensive. Shipping is
also expensive, even if the pole is cut to the desired length. I
really don’t want to spend $500 or so to extend the reaching strut to
its original length. Suggestions?
